--- Comment #8 from Jeffrey A. Law <law at gcc dot gnu.org> --- This is really a costing issue. Some designs (such as Ventana's) strided access can be very profitable, particularly for a relatively small stride. On others it may be considerably worse. Point being someone will have to build a cost model for each design to describe the costs in a sane manner.
