The manually unrolled version generates significantly longer asm code, with ~8000 instructions in SSESHA256body. This number is ~5000 in the auto-unrolled version.
The number of vmovdqu is also a lot bigger, that is 1170. It's only 260 in the auto-unrolled version. The register pressure seems to be much heavier when loops are fully unrolled.
Then performance (pbkdf2-hmac-sha256, x2):
[auto-unrolled]
Raw: 235 c/s real, 235 c/s virtual
[fully-unrolled]
Raw: 133 c/s real, 133 c/s virtual
Specs: laptop, icc, OpenMP disabled, turboboost disabled
We can see the fully unrolled one is much slower. I think register pressure is playing a big role here.
