Anything outside of rust (like assembly or simd) is not safe-ensurable by rusts build-in, just like interfacing with c libraries in golang is not safe.

I would imagine without these simd optimizations you would see a 2X slowdown at least.

I ran the benchmarks with SIMD disabled. Encoding goes from ~950Mbit/s down to ~350Mbit/s
