The attempt of this PR is to reduce the code size while manually unrolling the loops, as sugessted by @herumi.
While manual unrolling does not provide performance improvement on my testbed (Core i5 9400, Ubuntu 19.10), we see comparable performance with less than half the code size.
Object sizes are in bytes, other cells are in seconds (i.e. smaller the better). In addition to the command options listed above,
-DNDEBUG -march-native
were used in common.
