New optimized core in the works!

For those of you that didn't see my post about this in the *nix optimization thread (didn't belong there anyway), check this (http://www.ecc2.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=140)! :smoking:

Saw that the other day

It's great news, lets hope it passes those tests...

I've been doing some testing with knightmare and it doesn't look like the optimized core increases performance for K6-2's. Infact it is slower than the standard core. :swear:

On the bright side, we managed to get the source to compile with gcc 3.3, which allowed me to optimize the core further. I've now gone from 149it/s to 160it/s. That is a performance increase of around 8%.

Things are getting better and better :D
