  15. I just saw on the linux kernel discuss meeting that 486es and higher
  16. have a special instruction for converting big-endian to/from little-endian.
  17. Does anyone know if gcc (djgpp) uses this and optimizes for it, what sort
  18. of performance increase it might give, and if it would be worth anyone's
  19. while to have a 486-higher executable of Executor?
