Hey, I don't want any flames or anything like that.  Near pointers seem
to be the fastest technique though.  I stated the disadvantages and
advantages, as well.  With far pointers there's too much going on behind
your bank (Intel shadow registers and all that).  For video, I just find
them WAY to slow.  I noticed an incredible gain with near pointers.  So
much that I feel the disadvantages are far outweighed my the advantages.

Feel free to make your our opinions.  I only claim to know what I find
out myself.

Jeff
