:) I figure there is always something left to improve. For some kernels which really want to keep 30+ live registers, the compiler might not do as good a job as careful manual tuning, so intrinsics can have a bit of a cost. But I also figure optimization time is limited, so better to get 90% of several kernels rather than one to 99%.
