Use unsigned int i, j;
Ensures the '% 4' are done as '& 3' and the divides as shifts.
Unless the compiler manages to track the valid values that will
even generate better code on x86-64.
(Saves a sign extension prior to the array indexes.)

I think I'd look at doing [0..3] then [4..7] to save execution time.

I actually wonder how large a block you need to be processing to get
a gain from all that unrolling on architectures like x86-64.
The 'cold cache' timing must be horrid.
Never mind the side effects of displacing that much other code from the I-cache.

There aren't enough registers to hold all the v[] values so they'll
all be memory reads - and there are probably others as well.
The other instructions will happen in parallel - even 3 or 4 for each memory read.
