[Liboil] Fw: ORC performance for NEON

[Prateek Mathur]

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried running the code many times over but the range of the time taken remains the same. For measuring time I have also checked with clock_gettime which also suggests the same result.
 
I am not sure if replacing for loop by orcc generated C function is the best way to get optimization and this is where I need some help. If that is not the case should I then go to intrinsics?

Thanks

It looks like you are running the code once.  First of all, any
performance measurements should be done many times with an accurate
time counter (gettimeofday() is not).  Also, the first time you
run an orc function, it will compile the code, which generally
slower than running the resulting code.
