[Liboil] Simple scalar operations in ORC possible?

[Nghia Ho]

Thanks for that. I've been playing around with it a bit and noticed some 
possible short comings, probably due to my lack of knowledge. It seems every 
time you call the orc generated function there is some overheard that makes it 
perform no better than straight C code for simple stuff. Like for example this 
function that adds a scalar value to an array of float.

.function add_scalar
.dest 4 dst float
.source 4 src float
.floatparam 4 val
addf dst, src, val

is slower then simply doing something like

for(int i=0; i < N; i++) 
      data[i] += val;

An example of the execution time for 100,000 loops are:

orc: 26.264 ms
normal: 0.47 ms

From http://code.entropywave.com/documentation/orc/orc-opcodes.html

    loadpl
followed by 
    addl
?
