+   fastmemcpybench.c used to benchmark fastmemcpy.h code from libvo.
+     
+   Note: this code can not be used on PentMMX-PII because they contain
+   a bug in rdtsc. For Intel processors since P6(PII) rdpmc should be used
+   instead. For PIII it's disputable and seems bug was fixed but I don't
+   tested it.
