Did you replace them in vector-algorithms or in vector itself?

Am I right in assuming that this happens in code which uses only mutable
vectors? Fusion only works for immutable ones so it shouldn't really
affect things here.

Have you tried playing around with code generation flags like -msse2?

In any case, I would try to take a look at this if you tell me how to
reproduce.
