Hello,

if somebody is interested, here are the results (Win 98SE) of my Athlon optimized STREAM to see 
what should be possible in BLAS1:

DDR results are in the range of 1300-1600 MB/s. Because reading performance is much
lower than writing performance, add() and triad() show weaker results as they read
two vectors (scale() and assign() read only one.
