+	 * and e.g. a byte store has to be done with 64-bit load, shift,
+	 * and, or and finally 64-bit store. Peaking data and operating
+	 * at natural word size made it possible to reduce amount of
+	 * instructions as well as to perform early read-ahead without
+	 * suffering from RAW (read-after-write) hazard. This resulted
+	 * in >40%(**) performance improvement (on 21064 box with gcc).
+	 * But it's not only Alpha users who win here:-) Thanks to the
+	 * early-n-wide read-ahead this implementation also exhibits
+	 * >40% speed-up on SPARC and almost 20% on MIPS.
+	 *
+	 * (*)	"this" means code which recognizes the case when input
+	 *	and output pointers appear to be aligned at natural CPU
+	 *	word boundary.
+	 * (**)	i.e. according to 'apps/openssl speed rc4' benchmark,
+	 *	crypto/rc4/rc4speed.c exhibits almost 70% speed-up.
