|Just a note for those who are not aware of and who'd be tempted to  |
|unroll loops by hand: compilers are able to unroll loops themselves.|
|For instance GNAT has a -funroll-loops for a long time (and also -  |
|fpeel-loops and -funswitch-loops)."                                 |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

It is possible to obtain better performance by both manually unrolling
and having a compiler unroll for you at the same, instead of by
relying on just a compiler or just manual unrolling. See for example
"Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" (in which manual
unrolling was called "symbolic loop unrolling").

Sincerely,
Colin Paul Gloster
