For sure, it makes sense for nice well defined problems that execute in isolation.
Think of the situation where the string search is running on a system that has hyper threading and a bunch of cores, and a normal amount of memory bandwidth.
It'll be faster, but at the same time make everything else worse if you overuse vector instructions.
(also cherry on top: some modern CPUs automagically lower the clock when they encounter vector instructions!!!)
