Frktons I Step / 2 GPRs and Frktons I Step / 4 GPRs are remarkably fast but you should have a look at the output.

I didn't check and it is possible that some instructions are not correct,
I was first testing for speed, and now I'm going to check for size optimization
and correctness of code. A few days more, I'm quite slow indeed.

it has to work first, otherwise you are comparing apples with oranges in the timing tests   :t

Here we are, tested and posted. The performances don't change,
there were some typing errors and adding one instead of two somewhere.
These errors didn't impact on performance, but on results they did.  :P

I included a PROC to display the content of the filled array, on demand.  :t

Two out of three goals are accomplished, now the last, but not least,
optimization: code size and some small improvement, if needed.  ;)

On my home PC the III step is a bit faster than Jochen's code,
and in my office PC it is even faster.

I'm actually studing a faster/smaller solution because, as Jochen said:

P.S.: If you don't agree with the suffix "FINAL", write a faster algo :bgrin:
I don't agree with the suffix, I'm not at the FINAL stage so far.   :lol:

This could be my final test, if you don't have any suggestion
to enhance the performance of the last code:

As usual, different CPUs = different performances  :P

Considering I'm targeting Core Duo upwards, I can be satisfied
that I reached less than 0.7 cycles for each dword string.  :biggrin:

Thanks my friend. The application of unrolling and SSE2 code
produce this fast algo. :t
