as your code uses MMX you need to at least mention EMMS/float issue in the
dox and probably a  emms_c(); call before draw_horiz_band()
dunno if these are all

also what sets __MMX__ ? we have our own defines for that

and last
1.7% makes 50->48.3 % left to CoreAVC if we assume we are 50% behind

Rewriting code that is poorly written but fully understood is good.
Rewriting code that one doesnt understand is a sign that one is less smart
then the original author, trying to rewrite it will not make it better.
