Well, that shows how little x86 assembly language I've had to deal
with the last few years. I had assumed an 8a instruction like

	MOVL        something, CX

would have been

	movl %ecx, something

with whatever assembler they use now to compile Amoeba.  You say the
instruction would be the same.  Thanks for the clarification.

             *  measure time for the loop
             *
             *                MOVL  loops,CX
             *    aaml1:           AAM
             *                LOOP  aaml1
             *
             *  the time for the loop should be independent of external
             *  cache and memory system since it fits in the execution
             *  prefetch buffer.
