+# Improve NEON performance by 12% on Snapdragon S4. In absolute
+# terms it's 22.6 cycles per byte, which is disappointing result.
+# Technical writers asserted that 3-way S4 pipeline can sustain
+# multiple NEON instructions per cycle, but dual NEON issue could
+# not be observed, and for NEON-only sequences IPC(*) was found to
+# be limited by 1:-( 0.33 and 0.66 were measured for sequences with
+# ILPs(*) of 1 and 2 respectively. This in turn means that you can
+# even find yourself striving, as I did here, for achieving IPC
+# adequate to one delivered by Cortex A8 [for reference, it's
+# 0.5 for ILP of 1, and 1 for higher ILPs].
+#
+# (*) ILP, instruction-level parallelism, how many instructions
+# *can* execute at the same time. IPC, instructions per cycle,
+# indicates how many instructions actually execute.
