[Speex-dev] More integer / ARM-specific optimizations

[ndno72-speex at yahoo.com]

Hi Jean-Marc,

Thanks for the quick response.  Here are the numbers
for our little ARM systems:

CPU: ARM920T, 200Mhz 
Speex specs: Complexity 2, 5.95Kbps
Encoding: ~30%, Decoding: ~4%, 
  with Echo Cancellation / Pre-processor: > 85%
Compilation: arm-linux-gcc -pipe -Wall -W -O2
             arm-linux-g++ -pipe -fno-exceptions
-fno-rtti -Wall -W -O2
Configuration: --host=arm-linux --enable-fixed-point
--enable-arm4-asm

Andy
