I'm not. This patch does work well, and allows some faster code to be
enabled.
I posted a bench last Thursday on XviD mailling list to compare the
x86-64 version against IA-32.

Here are the new figures:

On x86-64 
  XviD Pure C | XviD Edouard SIMD | lavc + SIMD
Pass 1: 37fps | 78fps  SSE: 90fps | 82fps  SSE: 84fps
Pass 2: 11fps | 32fps  SSE: 36fps | 30fps  SSE: 30fps

Well, I'm quite puzzled why lavc doesn't get boosted by the activation
of SSE, but regarding XviD, when It's run with a SSE1|2-aware mencoder,
it gets a bonus 12%... not bad. Not bad at all!

So to sum it all: I'm all for it!

Regards,
Guillaume
