Out of curiosity I did some experiments with sse-intrinsics.c and I only
see regression when trying to implement this. Does that make sense? I
also tried with no interleaving, still a regression. Could this somehow
break some other optimization made by the compiler? In the MD4 case I
didn't even have to add a new temp variable, it already has tmp2 free to
use at that place.
It doesn't get much slower, but always definitely slower.
