Lot of people today have 2 (or even 4 cores), the order of the computation of those ops is arbitrary, so a major (nearly linear, hopefully) speedup will probably come as soon all the cores are used. This job splitting is probably an advantage even then the ops aren't computed by asm code.

I've taken a look at my code, and so far I don't see many spots where the array operations (once they actually give some speedup) can be useful (there are many other things I can find much more useful than such ops, see my wish lists). But if the array ops are useful for enough people, then it may be useful to burn some programming time to make those array ops use all the 2-4+ cores.
