 don't think it is possible to do this in a cross platform way. Is 
 there any way we could generate the code in a .s file and then safely 
 call it without the icall stuff?
 
 Maybe its best to first work on the [%/] by two, which can probably 
 be more xplatform.

+Paolo: I am well aware of the fact that an O(log n) algorithm is
+supposed to perform better only asymptotically, and I'm aware of the
+constant factors -- I'm *not* an academic ;) BUT, my point here is that:
+
+a) The same code written in C the log n method performs better even
+for small n
+b) The same code running in the Microsoft environment the log n method
+performs better even for small n
