I just loaded the raid6 module for fun (might end up using it one day), and I was surprised at its choice of algorithm. By the messages above, I would have assumed it would choose the mmxx2 algorithm at 2500 MB/s instead of sse1x2 at the slightly slower 2339 MB/s. This is probably entirely expected behaviour, but why?

Cheers,
Chris
