this is a Geode

The hardware is slow. You need to take advantage of what little you have, rather than wasting CPU cycles (including memory access -- there is barely any cache) on thick abstraction layers and other fluff. What you get:

  • MMX
  • 3dNow!
  • an extra Geode-specific instruction for vector square root

Don't be afraid of assembly. Assembly is good for you. It builds character.
