1. i meant non SIMD asm :)
If one wanted to do this in SIMD, it should do several channels
at once, or FIR & IIR at once or several blocks at once, then
SIMD should be faster but as is its not SIMD friendly
2. i mean the whole outer function not the 1-8 arithemtic ops one
this one as said is too small, the call overhead will kill it when
you try the same code (that is asm not gcc deoptiranomized C)
ahh and note, gcc and 64 operations -> very poor code, naive asm
will be much faster at least it was that way in the past ...

NEVER do emms in a inner loop

For the love of all that is holy, and some that is not, don't do that.
