Even if it's precompiled and not at runtime, we don't really know what the performance looks like, especially in hand rolled assembly where something that isn't a one-to-one cycle match could have obvious effects.

Also, Rosetta 2 doesn't support AVX. So it would rely on there being an alternate code path which would be AOT transpiled.
