When on AMD/Intel platforms, copies for unaligned arrays are disabled.
This is because AMD/Intel processors can deal very efficiently with unaligned data, so avoiding the copy is generally a good thing (up to 2x speed-ups wrt doing a copy can easily be seen). However, this optimization is not active when Numexpr is compiled with Intel VML (Vector Math Library). The rational is that (surprisingly enough), VML has not optimized the access to unaligned arrays, and hence the performance of its functions can drop a lot (as much as 10x in some cases!). Finally, the ``cpuinfo.py`` module has been added to the code in order to detect AMD/Intel CPUs easily. Thanks to Pearu Peterson for providing this nice piece of code.
