I've been trying to read it for a couple minutes now and I feel like I'm too dumb to realize what it's saying.

Presumably, it already used SIMD, and that's how the existing GNU utility beat Rust by a factor of 17x.

Yeah. I know. And I could tell, but it drives me batty. But also: thorn is an English character!!

Sure, Old English. But the commenter isn't writing in old or even middle English.
