I think cheap model may need some love since it seems to pick quite some code overhead and still produce noticeably fewer speedups than dynamic. This however may be very SPEC benchmarks centric since we tune vectorizer for years on those. I am re-running benchmarks now and lets see. Honza > > > Segher
