The inline comment '<--- not yielding?' is unclear and appears to be a draft note rather than proper documentation. Consider either removing it or expanding it into a clearer explanation about when loop unrolling doesn't yield performance benefits.

Suggested change
- **Loop Unrolling**: Manually unrolling loops in the hopes of performance gains, even when the loop is not a bottleneck. <--- not yielding?
- **Loop Unrolling**: Manually unrolling loops in the hopes of performance gains, even when the loop is not a bottleneck. This often does not yield significant performance improvements unless the loop is a proven bottleneck and the compiler cannot optimize it automatically.
