Hi Fernando, Thanks for your contribution. In general, I’d say that these instructions tend to capture common patterns that could map well to a “fast-path” implementation. Cracking them in a conservative way might end up jeopardising their goal, as more aggressive implementations could be possible, so I’d recommend to leave the default “vanilla” implementation as it is and avoid cracking. The other option could be to include your changes as a decoder flavour - see commit d3d15974 - and leave the non-cracked version as default choice.
