Thanks for the results! There is no doubt that this results in
worse numbers on your platform.  However, on the balance of it
I would say that the pointer version is a plus when all factors
are considered.  As such I'm going to stick with it.

I agree with you that optimising those macros on powerpc would
be a good course of action.

Cheers,
