Yes.  I've rewritten it a bit to clarify that this affects all
languages that can include altivec.h:

    <li>The AltiVec vector primitives in <code>&lt;altivec.h&gt;</code> are
        now implemented in a way that puts a smaller burden on the
        preprocessor, instead processing the "overloading" in the front ends.
        This should benefit compilation speed on AltiVec vector code.</li>
