I'm just calling into question the big "improvement" in CPU, thread, memory, Quartz and OpenGL with the jump to Tiger since the numbers on Panther don't really add up, and the numbers for Tiger a slower than what I get on my Powerbook that runs Panther.

That is not what SIMD means, nor what it can do. Single Instruction Multiple Data. Which means possibly fewer loops if you're doing the same thing to multiple sets of similar data. It does not mean doing multiple steps/instructions coded in a loop.artov said:This means that loops etc. are automatically converted to code that uses SIMD extension, i.e. code that handles several steps of the loop at once.
