Yea big-little might confuse things indeed. Though the performance difference between the NEON code and the scalar code is not that huge, and I suspect that big-little machines might benefit from unconditionally using the scalar code, given that sometimes they might wind up doing things on the little cores. Eric - what did you guys wind up doing on Android with the fast scalar implementation?
