It would be nice if we customised the code for PPC, and maybe ARM. The 
only thing I really do in assembly right now is "where is the top bit". 
There is usually an instruction for this on most modern CPUs. It can 
really speed up a couple of things. It think it should really be a 
standard C intrinsic.
