Does it actually make a difference on the M1?
NEON instructions are used unconditionally on arm64.
The instructions of the README file are mainly for ARM CPUs used in 32 bit mode (the Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 are 64 bit but are frequently used with a 32 bit Linux distribution).
Does it actually make a difference on the M1?
You're right, I just checked the mach-o binary and it's identical with or without the flag.
Sorry to waste your time @jedisct1 .
Updated README.md to highlight importance of using Single Instruction Multiple Data instructions on other ARM chips such as Apple M1.
