This is based on Cyclone, with no mention of the original author, but it's also slower than Cyclone. What's the point of this? Is it some hidden gem or an encrypted result? I don't understand.

At least you can see the source code here. Take it or leave it. You have three versions now, so pick one — or none, like me, even though I modified the original myself. This is just one of the waystations to something… or nothing.

What do you mean? Do you think any part of the code is worth anything—the AVX part, maybe? A new page in the book?
