Many responses.

Thanks for all your responses, (especially those I might have failed
to get back to.) and the informative extra chat about why gcc sucks so
much.

One final question... (which may be a gcc question, sorry if it is..)

why do we have some people proposing the use of "leave". When from the
docs I've read, leave takes longer than a mov and return ?
