<<Did you try -O3..what effect did that have, sometimes it causes the 
compiler to output code that overflows the cache etc..which can make it
slower than -O2.>>

Tried -O3... no effect.  :-<

<<Sometimes(often?), unroling loops,and inlining functions can be slower on
586,686 architectures due to the cache overflows etc...>>

Apparently, inlining functions doesn't have an effect on the BladeEnc code,
while unrolling loops greatly benefits it.

Thanks for your time!
