> Hi, is this one stuck? What you have today is definitely an improvement, even though it's not as good as what we have for x86. I guess we could commit this and leave widening the arithmetic for a later enhancement if you have no time to work on it.

Hi @theRealAph , following your suggestions I've got this working for ints and can confirm that it improves the performance. I don't have enough time at the moment to finish it for shorts and bytes though. I can update the patch with current results on Monday and we could decide how to proceed with this PR after that. Sounds good?
