This sounds like a big overhead for cases where every xmm register is usable say in a Vector API kernel. From Vamsi's microbenchmark runs, he has clearly shown that the gain of his optimization is way more than any overhead of doing pxor just before the converts.

Okay. I need to run testing again.
