Yes. Seems like a second je_update (does not require console command) brings
avx.

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.
