That sounds like that might be why it failed vectorization :-)
As I recall it there were no trivial loops there. Usually these 2
magicians could make compiler eat it in a few hours of shuffling
the code. They vectorized about half a dozen loops that way.
The last one took 10 times more then the others taken together ;)
If you recall the expression, it would be interesting to see it.
Even if I had it saved somewhere the place was NDA-ed to death. I
traded 3 months of intellectual work (and property) for a modest
amount of money. Interesting experience but no illusions about
R&D centers anymore.
