Also note that using MMX messes up the floating point stack and that there is a
penalty for switching into and out of MMX, so unless you're doing a lot of
integer calculations, it isn't worth it. Also, if you use MMX in an Euphoria
program, you would have to restore the floating point stack in order to use
atoms (is this possible? I'm sure it is, but I haven't spent the time to figure
it out).
