ja .L9
is more efficient than

addq $32, %rax

Yes.

Well I assume you mean that the speedup when vectorizing the elemental
will offset whatever wreckage we cause with vectorizing the rest of the
statements. I'd say you can at least compare to unrolling by
the vectorization factor, building the vector inputs to the elemental
from scalars, distributing the vector result from the elemental to
scalars.

Surely not if there isn't an elemental call in it. With it the
cost model of course will have not enough information to decide.
But still, what's the difference to the case where we cannot vectorize
the function? What happens if we cannot vectorize the elemental?
Do we have to build scalar versions for all possible vector sizes?
