Bug#519221: libpixman -- bug recently submitted related to your patch
Hi Arren,
The SSE2 code is really faster than C equivalent, but performs better
with images larger than 16 pixels wide. Since to get the SSE2 best
performance we need to align the destination address in 16 bytes. So
all operations are made in three loops, one for the alignment, one for
the bulk operation and the last one for operate the last pixels. But
with small images, all operations are done within the alignment and
tail loops. That is what is going on on this case, I guess.
I'm creating and environment to trying to get this bug. Which color
depth are you using?
Regards.
