What would you define as "good compiler" on the x86 based CPUs?

I think you're exaggerating just a little, here. Maybe by a factor of 2-3,
but not *10*. Does the code currently run anything?

But it's still cool. ;-) I like the creative use of the case statement -
something I hadn't thought of. Also, there isn't any timing information in
there, either, and that's required (even for some of the vector games).
