Review Comment:
   Yes sorry, I meant using SIMD instructions wherever available..
   
   Today, the shared library of Faiss' C API (`libfaiss_c.so`) is linked to the 
non-SIMD version of the base library (`libfaiss.so`) by default, but a user can 
still "point" to the correct SIMD version by changing its dependencies using:
   
   ```sh
   # patchelf --replace-needed OLD_DEPENDENCY NEW_DEPENDENCY SHARED_LIBRARY
   patchelf --replace-needed libfaiss.so libfaiss_{avx2,avx512,sve}.so 
libfaiss_c.so
   ```
   
   However, we'd ideally want to do this automatically (either propose a change 
to upstream Faiss, or something else from Lucene) -- but I wasn't sure how to 
do it right now..
   
   I'll update the comment soon!
