I forgot about one important thing. W/o FIDIVRL executed in parallel to the
span() function he wouldn't get such a result. This trick is unchanged by him.
:)

With FIDIVRL trick FPS is 45...70, w/o 36...52. 
Check this yourself or ask Dieter. :)

The rest C is almost the same as my inline ASM.

Well, I still thik I won the bet (because of the FIDIVRL trick which is located
in my inline ASM :), although we have proved that GCC _is_ efficient.

bye.
