ive refactored postproc a bit so the loop now works in groups of
4 blocks this should make adding in SSE2 and AVX2 easier

also dont hesitate to cleanup the code further (in clean well split
patches though please)

and yes getting some working and testable code in is a requirement for
qualification
i dont think factorizing the code is really that hard but then well
i know the code so things look kind of easier to me
