Performance is second only to correctness when I'm writing code for you. All false modesty aside, I'm probably a much better programmer than you are, with significantly more experience. Saying that you don't trust your libraries (and your reasoning for saying that) is tantamount to saying that you think I'm incompetent.

If I really thaught people are incompetent, I would not have made this thread in the first place. I never said you are incompetent lol. You seemed too happy and confident to be incompetent. And you dont have to tell me you are a better programmer than me because that gives me an impression that you think people are incompetent. I am not even a programmer. Well, I do program a little in my idle times but the sort of programming I do is different from at least 95% of programmers out there. And my situation in this thread is different. Its part of a
fun programming challenge to produce the most efficient and fastest algorithm to stay synced with a particular hardware. I heard today that our programs will be run in a machine with no o/s. Guess I cant use those librarys anyway. Not only me, everyone will be counting clock cycles. There is no reason for you to get offended with that "smiley" face of yours.
