The fastest MAC on Intel Pentiums I've seen is the floating point MAC
code
(single) by Phil Karn, and it achieves one MAC every 3 cycles. And the
code is pretty ugly (which isn't Phil's fault).
When I've tried to use MMX in one of my own projects, I ended up having
fast multiplication but about 20 instructions before and afterwards
to setup/clean up registers.
