And I still insist that this statement is fundamentally false. Better
than what? Whatever code gcc generates with the intrinsics, you can
always generate the same or better code if you just write it yourself.
Intrinsics are also gcc4-specific and have the problem that
performance is subject to the whims (and bugs) of gcc, whose record is
very bad...
