+ * This bit of code is performance-critical.
+ * On 32bit x86, gcc-6.3.0 was observed to spill ryy_j to stack,
+ * resulting in abysmal performance (x3 slowdown).
+ * Forcing it into a separate function alleviates register pressure,
+ * and spillage no longer happens.
+ * Other versions of gcc do not exhibit this problem, but out-of-line code
+ * seems to be helping them too (code is both smaller and faster).
+ * Therefore NOINLINE is enabled for the entire 32bit x86 arch for now,
+ * without a check for gcc version.
