I think sufficiently smart compilers can convert the code to use a
single index. GCC 4.2 (still the default compiler for OS X 10.6) is
unable to optimise this properly even with -O3, so I also see roughly
a factor of three difference in runtime.. However using LLVM-clang the
pointer and indexed versions perform the same.

If you are tied to VS then I guess you are limited in options, but if
not it may be worth seeing what the windows support for LLVM is like.
