Here's a helpful video about leveraging SIMD to solve a concrete performance problem for the dev team that made the game The Witness by Casey Muratori: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge3aKEmZcqY

It's a great talk, I just wish there was a good focused textual version of it, as it is a very long video to recommend to others. Very worth it, but a big investment.
It's a great example of what I think of as vertical integration for performance. As you go through the talk you can understand why all these abstractions exist and why they have to be so generic. But when you have a specific use case, you can vertically integrate from the problem definition all the way down to SIMD and reap big rewards.
Be the change you want to see. Post a transcript on your own website.
Yes, I will do that when I have time one of these years. I did mean to caveat that in my post but forgot. I mainly wanted to make the vertical integration point.
