@galderz Ah, right. I understand about the branch probability.

Hmm, maybe we should eventually change the `VectorReduction2` benchmark, or 
just remove the `min/max` benchmark there completely, as it depends on the 
random input values.

Ah, though we have a fixed `seed`, so rerunning the benchmark would at least 
have consistent branching characteristics. So then it could make sense to run 
the benchmark, we just don't know the probability. I mean I ran it before for 
the `in/float/double min/max`, and all of them see a solid speedup. So I would 
expect the same for `long`, it would be nice to at least see the numbers.

You could extend your benchmark to `float / double` as well, to make it 
complete. But that could also be a follow-up RFE.

So are you saying there are machines where we are now getting some regressions 
with your patch (2-element cases)? It would be nice to see the numbers 
summarized here. I'm losing the overview a little over the 50+ messages now šŸ˜…
