Inline assembler for dynamic array vector operations does improve speed by 20%

LLVM certainly is making a name for itself in specialist benchmarks. I'm not
sure how well it fares in general usage cases...
I've not really been following specialist benchmarks (actually, from what I have
seen, I thought the state of play was still, "Hey, LLVM has been improving
really fast and is just about caught up with GCC now, but GCC is still slightly
in front and stays that way with each new release").
But my own Dgraph's test benchmarks run consistently faster with LDC than with
GDC: https://github.com/WebDrake/Dgraph
