What frequency is the ARM processor?

I'm pretty sure it's possible. I use lots of 16 bit x 32 bit multiplies,
which are emulated as 2 16-bit multiplies and 1 addition. In the ASM
version, I use the ARM instruction that actually does 16 bit x 32 bit,
so it's faster. Also, the compiler has a major effect. I gained almost
50% in speed going from gcc 2.95 to gcc 3.3. On an ARM 400 MHz, I was
able to encode/decode 5x faster than real-time and I'm pretty sure it
could be faster than that.

Last thing, did you try version 1.1.3?
