The SSE and NEON are very cool features which should be used in WebKit directly or indirectly, but they are architecture dependent features. We can use them to speed up something directly, like Zoltan's patch for FELighting, or design a common framework (something like JSC's macro assembler) which drops many performance opportunities because of the high level abstraction - like in JSC. Anyhow, we should consider SIMD extensions, but the scope of SIMD and SMP are different. Any of them can live without the other, and can work with the other.
