What's up with these sorts of obvious compiler-generated bits of silliness?

You stated that you do not plan to provide the C source because you "believe
that the assembly should be faster."  Given turds like the above, I do not
accept this assertion without proof.

Given this routine does all scalar code, I don't see why it might not be
faster for all of the other targets as well.
