I agree that its slightly more work to optimises filters on uninterleaved
data, but if you dont want to do that you can still swizzle into the
vectors. Compared to the cost of running the filters it will be cheap
If your filtering something directly from the input path then you can
(should) only run SIMD on it if it happens to be alligned correctly and if
you have to realign, or its not directly from the input then you can
either swizzle for free, or have to swizzle anyway, depending on your
viewpoint.
