Joey, Pascal, Sounds like you are not getting the avx version. Check the result of 9!:14'' or JVERSION. It should indicate avx, if not then you are not running the avx version.
The 2!:7'' result should indicated the versions your hardware can run. You may just need to do the install again so that the 2!:7 result can let it get the avx version. Please: load'pacman' je_update_jpacman_'' Restart and check 9!;14'' If this works, then it means my initial instructions that tried to say doing the update 2 times would be necessary from older installs.
