Yes, do send it to me, I will transalate it to VIS. It would be nice if it was 
faster than the mlib version!

Actually IMO VIS is a piece of crap too, it is  primitive and slow - at least 
compared to amd/intel mmx2/sse2. I know it was the first SIMD instruction set 
on a general purpose CPU, but unfortunatelly it hasn't really been developed 
since than (like 1995).
