The preoduces assembly is exactly as bad:

mov         qword ptr [rbp+10h],rcx
movaps      xmm0,xmmword ptr [13F154020h]
movaps      xmmword ptr [rbp-60h],xmm0
movaps      xmm0,xmmword ptr [rbp-60h]
movaps      xmmword ptr [rbp-50h],xmm0
movdqa      xmm0,xmmword ptr [rbp-50h]
addps       xmm0,xmmword ptr [rbp-50h]
movaps      xmmword ptr [rbp-50h],xmm0
movdqa      xmm0,xmmword ptr [rbp-50h]
movaps      xmmword ptr [rbp-60h],xmm0
