[R-SIG-Mac] auto vectorizing gcc?

[Jan de Leeuw]

Now where would the speedup be coming from ? vecLib
has already been optimized, and vectorizing does not
handle double precision floating point. I am sure it is
possible to write C code (to be loaded into R) that can
be optimized by vectorization, but I am not sure there
is much in the standard R that will benefit a great deal.
