When I went to speed up run-length slice lines, I initially manually
converted the last chapter's C code into assembly. Then I streamlined
the register usage and used **REP STOS** wherever possible. Listing 37.1

is that code. At that point, line drawing was surely faster, although I
didn't know exactly how much faster. Equally surely, there were
significant optimizations yet to be made, and I was itching to get on to

like unrolling the Y-major inner loop; such unrolling could take
advantage of the knowledge that only two run lengths are possible for
any given line. Strangely enough, on the 486 it might also be worth
unrolling the X-major inner loop, which consists of **REP STOSB**,
because of the slow start-up time of **REP** relative to the speed of
