I see this instruction in AMD optimization guide
improvements are noticeable .. it also runs on Intel Centrino Duo
is it at all supported on Intel platforms and/or are there side effects?

I believe the 2-byte return (rep ret) is supported on all x86 processors.
It is already used in FastMM4 and in the D2007/D2007 memory managers.

regards,
John
