Review Comment:
   i wonder if we can coerce autovectorization of this loop somehow too. it is 
also worth looking into as it wouldn't require any vector api at all, maybe 
just manipulating the code. it is integer math: doesn't have the restrictions 
that floating point does (order of operations etc), so theoretically the 
compiler could do it.
