For being rejected by me if they don't perform way better (on par ==
rejection)...

intrinsics works correctly on non buggy compilers... (and aren't limited
by gcc). GDB is a little nicer when it comes to tracking problems.

An additional value added for intrinsics is due the fact there is a nice
altivec -> spu header to help porting your code to the new
extension/architecture.
