Thanks for that info, Rodrigo, it explains why I get false for every
SimdRuntime.IsMethodAccelerated I tried this far. And why I got slow-
downs instead of speed-ups.... Back to the compilation process...

Hi Bart,
Note that you need a recent version of the mono binaries to have the
Mono.Simd code
accelerated, otherwise it will generate regular code.
Either a build of TRUNK or the upcoming 2.2 have the runtime
additions.
Cheers,
Rodrigo

assembly like this, and it seems to be doing something. Now comes the
fun stuff...
