Adam,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to do these tests.

> On a Cortex-A8 (specifically a Galaxy Nexus) using Linaro GCC 4.7:

I'm a bozo. When I gave you the VMAC code using ARM intrinsics I should have explicitly reminded you to enable NEON when compiling:

  gcc -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard

On a modern ARM, you should always use these settings so that your compiler uses the NEON unit when possible.
