If we'd like, the way the macros are set up, it would be easy to change it so that we do less unrolling in the cases where we are actually doing substantial format conversion and wouldn't notice the extra logic quite as much. I'll play with it a bit tomorrow or next week and see how how much of a hit we would actually take if we unrolled a little less in places. --Jason Ekstrand
