Thank you for sharing this work! I'm not able to review this in depth at the moment, but I am curious if you considered trying to enable auto-vectorization on the code or using the higher-level SIMD support in src/include/port/simd.h. Those may not show as impressive of gains as your patch, but they would likely require much less code and apply to a wider set of architectures. -- nathan
