    cmd/6g: avoid MOVSD between registers · a768de83
    Russ Cox authored
    MOVSD only copies the low half of the packed register pair,
    while MOVAPD copies both halves.  I assume the internal
    register renaming works better with the latter, since it makes
    our code run 25% faster.
    
    Before:
    mandelbrot 16000
            gcc -O2 mandelbrot.c	28.44u 0.00s 28.45r
            gc mandelbrot	44.12u 0.00s 44.13r
            gc_B mandelbrot	44.17u 0.01s 44.19r
    
    After:
    mandelbrot 16000
            gcc -O2 mandelbrot.c	28.22u 0.00s 28.23r
            gc mandelbrot	32.81u 0.00s 32.82r
            gc_B mandelbrot	32.82u 0.00s 32.83r
