You mean factor 50 = 5000%?

That's not a normal case as I understand it, and it's surely not something  
for .net. You can only write in this way when you know the compiler will  
straighten the code. I'm not sure if I would do this. And (to become  
on-topic again) I see with a little headache that MiNT-code gets more and  
more gcc-4-specific. So it will become more difficult or impossible to use  
another compiler (like AHCC or whatever) someday.
