HI Rohit,<br>
<br>
My concern about optimisation was to do with the test example only,
using the same parameters many times to show up a measurable time
difference.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<p>Ross, that was my expectation, that the SET would be slightly
faster. <br>
</p>
<p>The <font size="6"><b>set </b></font>should <b>fetch </b>the
data, <b>shift </b>it and <b>and </b>it.</p>
<p>Where as the <font size="6"><b>or </b></font>should <b>fetch
</b>the data and execute two <b>compare </b>and <b>jump </b>type
instructions.</p>
<p>In this case, I doubt if the optimisation would make much
difference. Optimisation make a significant difference to loops
and where a variable/constant is used again and again.<br>

did the test but had to use a loop 40000000 times to get
