     1.4 +Orc is basically a simplified assembly language for data processing
     1.5 +(no loops, jumps etc.), it's supposed to map to SIMD instructions on
     1.6 +various architectures curently there are two things:
     1.7 +
     1.8 +- liborc, which is a JIT compiler that will at run-time take orc code
     1.9 +  (in some byte format) and generate machine code for the architecture
    1.10 +  in question on the fly and then execute that whenever there's a
    1.11 +  function call
    1.12 +- we have C backup functions as .c files in the gstreamer source code,
    1.13 +  which are also compiled in when orc can't compile some code (for
    1.14 +  various reasons), or liborc is not available, then the C backup
    1.15 +  function will be used that's the current state of things.
