checkasm benchmarks on 1.5 GHz Cortex-A72 are as follows. Note that the C
version can still outperform the NEON version in specific cases. The balance
between different code paths is stream-dependent, but in practice the best
case happens about 5% of the time, the worst case happens about 40% of the
time, and the complexity of the remaining cases fall somewhere in between.
Therefore, taking the average of the best and worst case timings is
probably a conservative estimate of the degree by which the NEON code
improves performance.
