/* This version is especially optimized for the i586 (and following?)
   processors.  This is mainly done by using the two pipelines.  The
   version optimized for i486 is weak in this aspect because to get
   as much parallelism we have to executs some *more* instructions.

   The code below is structured to reflect the pairing of the instructions
   as *I think* it is.  I have no processor data book to verify this.
   If you find something you think is incorrect let me know.  */

	   The basic algorithm is the same, but here the code organized
	   in a way which permits to use both pipelines all the time.

	   I tried to make it a bit more understandable by indenting
	   the code according to stage in the algorithm.  It goes as
	   follows:
		check for 0 in 1st word
			check for C in 1st word
					check for 0 in 2nd word
						check for C in 2nd word
		check for 0 in 3rd word
			check for C in 3rd word
					check for 0 in 4th word
						check for C in 4th word

	   Please note that doing the test for NUL before the test for
	   C allows us to overlap the test for 0 in the next word with
	   the test for C.  */
