Nice results! SIMD can be a pain, good to know Zig makes it easy.

However, note that the plot under "Native SIMD Throughput Comparison" is extremely misleading: for an accurate proportional comparison between bar charts, you should start the y-axis at zero. The way the data are presented makes it look like a 10-100x gain, rather than the actual 2x improvement.

I was going to comment the same. I saw the huge difference and went "wow", then read that it was a 2x improvement and had to check the axes properly, thinking "slightly less wow". It reminds me of that barchart of women's average heights in different countries that starts at 5 feet https://preview.redd.it/dohqa8l94kb41.png?auto=webp&s=865180...

		Starting the axis at anything other than 0 for a length comparison is hilarious.
