This PR does a couple of things:
Overall CPU performance in situations where these benefits were not already observed is 2-4x. Further optimization may be possible (e.g. explicitly enabling AVX code generation on MSVC on platforms that support it).
Platform specific optimizations are also possible on MSVC, as it does not support -march=native which we use everywhere else. Enabling AVX on MSVC
