I just saw that PDP has some MMX assembly (old school ;). Do you
think it would be worth turning on, even tho MMX seems to be
deprecated? The code is in externals/pdp/system/mmx
Auto-vectorization only got about 5 or 6 loops.

why is MMX deprecated?
especially, why do you consider MMX deprecated when there is no SSE2
code instead?

yes they have different instruction sets: MMX can only handle integer
values, while SSE can only handle floating point values.
(only SSE2 added floating point support)
SSE2 is
