Additionally, whilst you found these flags speed things up
slightly on AMD systems, it may have a noticable detrimental
impact on Intel systems, and shipping multiple sets of binaries
for a negligable speedup doesn't make a lot of sense.

When run in 32bit, this is doubling the amount of loads/stores used,
so little wonder it's slower.
