it doesn't seem to have better support for things like xor and count_ones. I believe the main use case is comparisons.

Combined with broadcasting its fast.

Under the hood it’s doing the same thing with a vector of ints (64 bits for bitvectors) and all the bulk manipulation is handled that way so SIMD in inherent as well. Worth a shot.
