These smaller samples do not need to be unpacked to double words
allowing the code to process more pixels every iteration (still 2 in MMX
but 6 in SSE2). It also avoids emulating the missing double word
instructions on older instruction sets.
Like with the previous code for 16-bit samples this has been tested on
an Athlon64 and a Core2Quad.
Athlon64:
1809275 decicycles in C, 32718 runs, 50 skips
911675 decicycles in mmx, 32727 runs, 41 skips, 2.0x faster
495284 decicycles in sse2, 32747 runs, 21 skips, 3.7x faster
Core2Quad:
921363 decicycles in C, 32756 runs, 12 skips
486537 decicycles in mmx, 32764 runs, 4 skips, 1.9x faster
293296 decicycles in sse2, 32759 runs, 9 skips, 3.1x faster
284910 decicycles in ssse3, 32759 runs, 9 skips, 3.2x faster
