I think performance-wise it would be possible to port the Virus algorithms
to quite a few currently available processor-architectures (especially
since most CPUs even in the embedded domain now contain special
instructions for SIMD operations)
But I suppose that this would be a tedious task. Access has used the
Motorola 56k architecture right from the beginning. I would suppose even
coding lots of high-perfomance-parts directly in the 56K DSP-assembler not
to induce any overhead due to compilers and inefficient automatic optimization.
