I knew what you meant. My point was more that most people are writing software at the level of "if (overlaps(a, b)) doSomething()" Yes, there will be plenty of math and intrinsics in the "overlaps" after you get through all of the accessors necessary to have the raw numbers. But especially in heavily modeled spaces, the number one killer of getting to the SIMD is that the data just isn't in a friendly layout for it.

Is that not the case?
