I've started to revisit the hotspots, rewriting the code to use ARM
v6 SIMD extensions, but I am unable to test it due to not having an
appropriate device. If anyone out there has a suitable device and
would be prepared to test my code on it, please get in touch!

I hope to look at using v7 or NEON instructions as appropriate too.

Thanks,

Robin
