Unfortunately not. speed -C -s ... mpn_addmul_2 reported around 14
cycles, so it's 7 c/l, compared to 2.38 for the current non-simd code.
If I interpret speed output correctly.

Should look into that (I didn't notice any useful integer
multiply-accumulate instructions on my first reading of the manual). But
I suspect you get them on the critical path, and then the relevant
comparison is to add latency, not mul latency.
