I have written a FPU texture mapper that uses doubles in its inner loop.
I have to align them manualy (by adding some extra variables) to
increase speed, every time I add some code or variables above, so I'm
shure my ineer loop's data aren't aligned properly. I want to align them
on 32 byte boundary so my inner would have less cash misses. 16 byte
boundary was just an exaple. It would be nice to have authomaticly
aligned data.
