Sebastian,
 
 
 
 
 
 
                Here are, in addition, the numbers for compiling and 
running HIRLAM with -ftree-loop-distribution (after applying your patch, 
obviously).

There something weird going on with the count of the "loops not 
vectorized" - every successfully vectorized loop gets an additional 
message:

	note: not vectorized: vectorization may not beprofitable.

which rather defeats the purpose of the "not vectorized" messages.

In short, almost 1900 more loops are vectorized, but that's of course 
certainly due to the fact that loop distribution *makes* more loops.

In run time it has little (but positive) effect.

Kind regards,
