Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:36 yawning]:
 > Unless teor's system or compiler is outdated garbage it will use the
 SSE2 unit for floating point math.
 Latest systems support x87, latest compilers (excl. some garbage) support
 x87. They will use what you ask them to. SSE2 unit is an outdated garbage.
 SSEx is deprecated. Compiler which will use the SSE2 unit for floating
 point math by default is an outdated garbage.
