Actually, I tested it with Abrash's STIMER before I had the 486.  I tested
it on a 16mhz 286, and the JNC was faster than another rep overall.  I
tried small odd/even, and large odd/even.  But like I said, I believe
I used ADC CX,0.  Then I tried it on a XT, and the JNC was faster aswell,
and since most optimization is directed at 8088/6 I used that.  I have
no idea what the processor demographics are, and even so, unless
they listed game usage specifically, I'll stick with what's best for XT's
and 286s.  I will test the ADC CX,CX version though.  Optimization will
be important later, right now I just want to see my game up and running to
inspire me.  I'm really losing motivation like usual.

Abrash uses JNC which is where I first found it.  Sutty and Blair
(Advanced programming guide to SVGA (They did EGA/VGA aswell) provided the
additional REP method.  Most people think Abrash is god.  Although personally
I tought PGP sucked, and I don't know why people beg for copies.

I'm not trying to convince you I'm right just why I originally posted and
my view of optimization.
