I think so. The benchmark results just fluctuated too bad when I utilize the maximum number of hardware threads, so I switched to a small number of threads, without binding them to a specific core though.

I'll post the updated results later.

Why? Our ZedBoard has only two cores.

No, I haven't. I'll put this on my todo list.

I just checked the manuals. NEON does support OR-NOT, but AltiVec seems to only support NOT-OR (~(a|b)). So only NEON can benefit from this optimization perhaps.
