Just a little something that has been bothering me.

Well, I looked at it and (without optimizing) the first case was "quicker".
I was using the UNIX SVR4 C compiler.  If your compiler has an assembly option,
(-S in Johnson's PCC) use it to see for yourself.

When I optimize, my compiler shows no difference.  So there you have it,
it sort of just depends on what you're using at the time.
