Gerard did optimize the SSE calculation routine using AMD's Pipeline analyzer.
The speed improvements make FFFF ~30% faster on P4 and newer Athlons.
My tests on a P4@2.4GHz results in 375 MegaIters/sec (about 6.5 clock cycles per iteration). On my P3, the speed improvement is ~5%.

Sorry for the stupid bug, i am developing on an Athlon, but there are no excuses :)
Please download this fixed version which includes also other minor fixes.

The benchmark does crash trying to execute 3DNow! code on Intel CPUs.
Will be fixed asap.

Version 3.1.0 supports realtime orbit draw.
Just move the mouse on the image while pressing the "O" key (the O letter, not the zero !).
I forgot to mention it in the doc.. sorry :)

New in this release:
- Added AMD 3DNow! dual pixel calculation [GB].
- Added Radeon GPU pixel calculation using GL_VERTEX_SHADER_EXT (see notes). Maybe it works on other GPUs, tell me ! [DP].
- Added experimental GPU benchmarking (does not work on my Radeon 9000..) [DP].
- Slightly improved speed of SSE2 quad pixel calculation by constant data alignment on 64 bytes boundaries [DP].

The Radeon GPU Mandelbrot code (Vertex Shaders) is ready.
It will be present in the upcoming version 3.1.0.

This causes a bad performance penalty, expecially on ATI cards.. GeForce cards do not see to be affected (that's why i didn't notice it :).
This has been fixed and will be released in the new version.

Gerard coded the 3DNow! routine that will be integrated and released asap. :)
