Spell of Mastery Progress

Ok. The new voxel rendering algorithm performs 1.4 times faster. Not much, but voxel models can also be split into 16-bit chunks, which locally use only 16-bit addressing. That should speedup the algorithm further, if the bottleneck is with the memory bandwidth.

I've also discovered that GCC's __builtin_popcount is slower than a lookup table, since it branches into subroutine __popcountdi2. Why GCC doesnt use the x86 popcnt opcode? No idea. No idea. But it probably would be easier to answer why Stallman molests little children.

Why did you test your hash function on input that differs on multiple bytes, but djb's on only one? Is this because you didn't benchmark hashtable performance between the two, and your hash function remains but unproven wibble? (we've all been there.)
