hello all,

i've read that on newer architectures
SSE code should be prefered over x87 - because of speed
and i saw masses of SSE code in the math stuff of microsoft and intel 
compiler generated code

i know that the current fpu/sse support of DMD isn't that good, but are
there any attemps to use SSE code insinde of std.math implementation
wouldn't give SSE better results here (beside that someone needs to 
implement it)?

just as a question
