IntVector.fromValues is not optimized away ?

[Paul Sandoz]

Grouping the N int fields into an int[] array is likely the most optimal right now.  

We are a bit stuck until HS is enhanced to better track and match source patterns of element values the vector is composed of. Hence my recommendation.

I doubt N vector insertion instructions will greatly improve matters on their own, perhaps in combination for fields to avoid the temporary buffer.
