   Both me and Niklas Lindholm replied to you this week on how showing code   
   intermixed with 50+% commented-out lines makes it super hard for humans   
   to see whats left, especially (at least in my case) if those lines   
   contain a lot of " // else { " flow control since my brain is very much   
   adapted to recognizing changes in control flow when trying to divinate   
   what a program does.   
      
   I'll jut leave you with: "rethink the algorithms, wait with instruction   
   optimization until the very last". There is basically no use in looking   
   for the best asm opcodes if you are bubblesorting 1000s of random   
   entries using O(n^2) steps to do it, as opposed to using a better sort   
   even if uses poor or expensive instructions to solve itself.   
      
   Also, look up the term "Askhole" while pondering how come you get so few   
   decent responses long-term. Like when it took some 10 weeks for you to   
   find anything on LZ77 optimal parser after getting that exact hint on   
   comp.compression. When I type "lz77 optim" google fills in the rest and   
   there just pops out tons of pages on that very subject.   
      
   I have absolutely no idea on how you are, what kind of person or   
   anything but your actions clearly makes it appear as if you are throwing   
   out a lot of "can you please make an effort for me?" and then just   
   moving on not caring if people did small or large amounts of work for   
   your sake.   
      
   I don't think that pays off in the long run.
