I just "discovered" a bug in my debugging system.
Which caused me to debug the wrong function for about 5 hours.
Since I really could not see why the codegen would produce such 
vastly different code.
(Almost as if it were generating code for a different function :/ 
)

The takeaway: Better Debuggers only safe you time if they are 
actually showing you correct information.

If your debugger is buggy then your are in a world of hurts.
I had my share of pain for today.

The good thing is however, that the floating point stuff is going 
smooth so far.
The x87 can be persuaded to almost obey the ieee standard if you 
issue a write after every operation.

The better option would be to just use sse2 all the way. But 
whatever.
