I've been reading the PPC architecture manual, though, so I can tell you that Bob's 3 instructions are all single cycle instructions on a G3...

You should also check out IBM's PowerPC Compiler Writer's Guide, if you haven't already: http://www-3.ibm.com/chips/techlib/techlib.nsf/techdocs/ 852569B20050FF7785256996007558C6

Hard copies of this document can be obtained by calling IBM at (800) 879-2755 and requesting document number SA14-2094, I hear that they used to (maybe still do) charge $1.00 for the book :)

You have attempted to enter a controlled access area that you are not currently entitled to view. IBM Microelectronics uses a entitlement process to protect potentially sensitive data.

... oh well. I'll dig around for it, though. And I guess s&h might be more that $1 to the UK...

Maybe it's restricted to US citizens only? That would be odd.. I tried it in another browser just to make sure it wasn't a baked cookie from when I downloaded IBM's PowerPC compilers, and it worked just fine.

I can read it just fine as well. How very odd. Laura
