You are right. -ftree-vectorize implies -ftree-loop-if-convert and this option
makes all the difference!

-O2 -ftree-vectorize:

real    0m24.061s
user    0m23.789s
sys     0m0.225s

-O2 -ftree-vectorize -fno-tree-loop-if-convert

real    0m18.029s
user    0m17.761s
sys     0m0.220s

We were barking up to the wrong tree. ;)
