Ah, I see.  I'll fix that for the next release.

Cool...  just for comparison, here are the results I get from my machine (dual 
2GHz Opteron running SUSE 9.1 in 32 bit mode, compiled under gcc with -O3).  
Presumably you should be able to get a similar (5-10x) speedup from your 
assembly functions if they are working efficiently.

NOTE:  USING x86 inline assembly swap functions!
testing B_HOST_TO_LENDIAN_* ...
testing B_LENDIAN_TO_HOST_* ...
testing B_HOST_TO_BENDIAN_* ...
testing B_BENDIAN_TO_HOST_* ...
Correctness test complete.
 Now doing speed testing....
B_SWAP_INT16 exercise took 16ms to complete.
B_SWAP_INT32 exercise took 12ms to complete.
B_SWAP_INT64 exercise took 38ms to complete.
B_SWAP_FLOAT exercise took 12ms to complete.
B_SWAP_DOUBLE exercise took 38ms to complete.
