They all work fine on Intel i7 but I see massive performance regressions on AMD hardware, not only XOP/Bull but also older AMD. Even using OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 the speed is terrible. I think we need to revert this or figure out some way to handle it.

I see now Bull's results are better than the older AMD six-core I tried earlier. That one really had awful regression at OMPx1, Bull does not - it just doesn't take off using more cores, which is sad but not that much of a problem.
