...not to mention that G4 produces a stream of bits, not bytes, so the boundary between two strips will not fall on a byte boundary in most cases, and it is even less likely that it will be regular enough to determine a rows-per-strip number.

Makes me wish Intel (or anyone) would introduce some "move-with-bit-offset" instructions for external memory access.

MOV   CL,  7                  ; offset by +7 bits

MOVBO EAX, [some_variable] ; fetch into EAX 32 bits from address of some_variable + CL number of bits

If bits "around" the target address were always fetched anyway (haven't thought about how to deal with bounds), there would be very little overhead for reads.
