I don't know sparc very well, and indeed it seems that sparc32 is often
faster than sparc64. But here it's not about sparc32 vs. sparc64.
It's about sparc64 using some 32bits optimized code vs. sparc64 using
some 64bits optimized code (ie. the code surrounded by HAVE_FAST_64BIT).

To benchmark it, I used START/STOP_TIMER at begining/end of
idctRowCondDC(), but unfortunatly START/STOP_TIMER is not implemented
for sparc :-(

If you find a good way to benchmark it, I'm interested in the results.
Else I will probably commit this patch as is.
