Hehe I believe jtr would be better off without my buggy code inside :)
Oh, you use explicit asm, not intrinsics? Does XOP even offer

No, I am not a big fan of having hand-written assembly. I used the VPCMOV
intrinsic (_mm_cmov_si128) and it operates on xmm registers. I was not
aware there is 256-bit version though, hm need to check that.. Actually I
was not aware about that instruction at all, I just knew they have bitwise
rotation. I was very pleasantly surprised when I looked at the XOP
intrinsics list in MSDN and found that one out. It was like "hey wtf they
have the vec_sel thing, great!". I spent too much time playing with GPUs
recently, looks like there were some interesting news on the CPU front that
I've missed :)

Not quite sure. I need to profile that more and see where is the problem. I
did not have enough time to play with this yesterday and I was very sleepy.
Overall, I suspect the issue might be somewhere else, not the bitslice DES
code.
