Expected failure ... -O3 messes up the engine and tries to push the
fast variables into the stack ... Which is what I understood ...

#if defined(CVM_X86) && defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(IL_NO_ASM)
    #define REGISTER_ASM_PC(x)              register x asm ("esi")
    #define REGISTER_ASM_STACK(x)           register x asm ("edi")
    #define REGISTER_ASM_FRAME(x)           register x asm ("ebx")

Does this answer your question ? ... GCC left to itself knows to manage
correctly ... but this is obviously a low level override ... (this did
a 15% speed gain , if pnetmark is right ...)

Live happily everafter with -O2 .. :-)
