vlc performance

[Ice BOFH]

As part of the process of getting vlc on my TP600E and improving playback 
performance in general. I am attaching my notes

# Adjust some parameters on the DVD drive
hdparm -c1 -d1 -u1 -a128 /dev/hdc

I used gcc 2.95.3 to compile. I have also been experimenting with compiling 
certain modules with the intel compiler in hopes of speeding things up (it 
appears to speed up somewhat).


files compiled with the intel compiler with the following flags
-tpp6 -xiM -axiM -ip -unroll

yuvmmx.c
video_yuvmmx.c
idctmmx.c
vdec_idct.c
vdec_block_mmx.c
idctmmxext.c
vdec_idct.c
vdec_block_mmx.c
motionmmx.c
vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c
vdec_motion_common.c
motionmmxext.c
vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c
vdec_motion_common.c
vpar_headers.c
vpar_blocks.c



Note the following message when compiling video_yuvmmx.c, this supposedly 
indicates that that particular loop was converted to MMX.

video_yuvmmx.c(188) : (col. 13) remark: LOOP WAS VECTORIZED.

// for( i_index = 0; i_index < 256; i_index++)


Hope this helps and would be interested in hearing if anyone else has tried 
this.
