Arduino 3 Million samples per second oscilloscope

I have built an Arduino powered 3 million samples per second oscilloscope. The secret to the speed is using an external Analog to Digital Converter.  Here is the video on YouTube; http://youtu.be/fG7trChbg88

This is the schematic of the AD775 Fast analog to digital converter setup;

Here is a picture of the screen.
Here is the code for 3 million samples per second, to get that fast you need to say Sample[1]=PINC a total of 320 times!

  1. Is there not some kind of loop-unrolling flag/optimizing flag you could use for GCC for this? I know the Arduino IDE may not make this easily available, but manually unrolling a loop like that just doesn't sound like a great idea.
