[LLVMdev] [llvm] r187267 - SLP Vectorier: Don't vectorize really short chains because they are already handled by the SelectionDAG store-vectorizer, which does a better job in deciding when to vectorize.

[Nadav Rotem]

Hi Daniel,

Maybe my commit message was not clear. The idea is that the SelectionDAG store vectorizer can only handle pairs. So, the number three means "more than a pair".  

Thanks,
Nadav
