Ok I have replaced the division and modules by :
// This function approximation works fine up to a = 32771
#define DIVTMTO(a) ((10923 * (a))>>16) // If TMTO_RATIO changes you need
redefine this macro
#define DIV2(a) ((a)>>1)
#define MOD2(a) ((a) - (DIV2(a) << 1)) // This can be optimised in ASM
using carry
#define DIV8(a) ((a)>>3)
#define MOD8(a) ((a) - (DIV8(a) << 3)) // This can be optimised in ASM
using carry
The performance still the same but now I drop almost 1K. I'm going to check
the segfault.
Regards,
Rafael.
