BTW, T1 is cool, but that the 1U version only has space for 1 disk is
pretty limiting :/
I have to believe that you can load 64 bit constant data from memory and
don't have to do all this dancing with immediate loads. Therefore this
must be faster or they wouldn't do it this way. Or is this a point that
some unoptimized compiler could generate this code?
