  Unroll slightly and enforce good instruction scheduling. This improves
performance on out-of-order machines. Note the unrolling allows
for pipelined multiplies which helps a bit, but most of the gain
is from enforcing better instruction scheduling for more ILP.
Unrolling further started to induce slowdowns for sizes [0, 4]
but can help the loop so if larger sizes are the target further
unrolling can be beneficial.
