Tried it on i5 650 which has: sse sse2 ssse3 sse4_1 sse4_2. I assume x86_64

Not quite. I only support avx1 and later.
I thought about supporting sse4 and later (that's the minimum with all of the
instructions that do what we need), but there is only one cpu generation with
sse4 and without avx1, and avx1 is already 8 years old.
OK that explains why I haven't seen any improvements. My CPU just predates
AVX and happens to be in the generation you mention. But I agree this
probably does not worth the effort. Maybe I should test on something newer
instead.
Thank you,
