Hey there pp4me. Indeed, here's my code. I appreciate all the support and help you guys are offering!

In terms of the number of registers used and operations executed they look fairly similar to me.
The conclusion I have come to is that the first two loops seem to iterate 26 times while the next two loops iterate 25 times. The first two loops subsequently seem to have 28 assembly operations each while the next two loops execute 26 assembly operations each. The reason for the discrepancy being that the latter two loops execute their first increment operation before checking their loop conditionality. That's the way I see it so far anyway...
Why our former Prime Minister called Pilots "Glorified Bus Drivers". If Aussie Bus Drivers can land 747's, then USA coal miners can code and design the next generation of processors
