Damn all that stuff you mention sounds really annoying. If this kind of 
thing is really the problem, I don't think I have the time now to be 
spending on reorganising loops for a specific processor, *especially* 
one that is probably going to disappear in less than a few years. These 
are mostly the kinds of things a compiler should be able to work out 
itself, if it knows the processor well enough. The code is running much 
better on every other chip.
