I must have misinterpreted this remark:

> In general, I took the highest-ranked pure C++ routines for each test. Versions that used, for example, SSE functions were excluded, as were those with explicit multithreading.

For "functions" I interpreted "functionality," but I think now it must mean SSE intrinsics?

Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, sorry, I meant SSE intrinsics. As I think I note later in the article, the compiler I used emitted scalar SSE2 for floating point.

I'm glad you made the comment, others might read it the same way as you did originally. This clears the potential misunderstanding.
