> Autovectorisation leads to worse performance in bit unpacking

>             Project: IMPALA
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Daniel Becker
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The compiler (GCC 4.9.2) autovectorises bit unpacking for bit widths 1, 2, 4 
> and 8 (function BitPacking::UnpackValues), but this leads to actually worse 
> performance (see the attached graph). We should consider whether it is worth 
> disabling autovectorisation for bit unpacking, but future compiler versions 
> may do a better job.
