Unfortunately the improvement is small compared to SSE, but at least it's consistently faster and easy to implement.

Looks nice,

Will go deeper... but do you think that such strategy can also help on the GPU ?

Thanks! Not sure about the GPU, I think it's worth investigating, but going beyond 8-way branching is probably not a good idea.
