For simple operations, compilers are rather good on vectorization. Even
though I don't know if there's any support for multi-arch targets on
gcc, so that the SSE2/SSE3 optimized binary would run on hardware
without SSE (dynamic code selection)? I haven't got time to follow the
latest gcc developments.

For more complex operations like FIR, IIR, normalized cross-correlation
or complex multiply-accumulate, I haven't seen any compiler being able
to match hand-crafted assembly code.
