Hi!

I put a new Windows App for testing on the Beta Test Page. It incorporates ideas from E@H user "AkosF" and some others making it much faster than the current official App. How fast exactly is left to you to find out.

As the changes have been made on the source code level, they are probably not as efficient as the latest Assembler-level tuned Apps, but compatibility has always been a higher goal at least for the official Apps.

Give it a try. "Akosf", you may find to tune something on this one, too.

Nope. As long as you let us know what you did - the source code will always be a bit behind.

Here's some white one that didn't make it into the App on time: The innermost loop is always ran 32 times (at least for the current S4 run), you can unroll it if you like.
