Hmm, does someone who knows more about the renderer think this would help out Inkscape? Seems better than the MMX flag.

Liboil is a library of simple functions that are optimized for various CPUs. These functions are generally loops implementing simple algorithms, such as converting an array of N integers to floating-point numbers or multiplying and summing an array of N numbers. Such functions are candidates for significant optimization using various techniques, especially by using extended instructions provided by modern CPUs (Altivec, MMX, SSE, etc.).
This release represents a significant milestone in the liboil project. The sections of the ABI that are most interesting to developers are now considered to be stable, and will be stable throughout the 0.3.x and 0.4.x series.
As of this release, I'm actively encouraging other open-source projects to begin using liboil. I'm happy to do much of work converting projects to use liboil, and especially, adding function classes and implementations to liboil that may be needed.
