PROFILING RESULTS
-----------------

This is an attempt to cronolog all the profiles done to the code, and the speed at which teh code runs after steps have been taken to optimize it. Think of it  as a diary.

NOTE: After ever optmiztion and code change, md5sum MUST be run on the output   files to determine that they are exact matches of teh pre-optimized code.       PLEASE remember to do this, it'll save alot of heartache in the future.
Also please dont include any Flat data that is less than 1% of the total time.

Also NOTE: All tests are run at the DEFAULT encoder settings, ie, faac track.wav

Format:
*Person profiling
*Version/cvs date
*gcc flags
*runtime
*data track used
*notes
*FLAT gprof profile. We may include the Call graph at a later date if we need   to.

The Outfield Bangin': track 2: Bangin' On My Heart
Ok, this is wierd. It jsut dawned on me that since the x86 isnt a risc box with a ton of registers (like im used to) it might be register starved. That seems to be the case. With no optimization except inlining, we are running with a 200% speed increase. Time to pin this down.

Bingo! Got it. -O core dumps, and -O2 to -O6 are slower than thuer non optimized counterparts, unless you add -ffast-math. then things are speedy. The assembly it produces still has room for speed. Still more work to do.
