I don't think so. SIMD is more like a weird mix of vector processing and bizzare mathematical transformations originated from low-level facts, and the latter becomes more significant when SIMD targets shorter inputs. I recently helped my friend who needed a fast CCSDS Reed-Solomon decoder in Python. The existing Python library was really slow, like 40 blocks per second, while the same algorithm written in C# claimed 10,000+ blocks per second. It turned out that the Python version made use of Numpy but so badly that it was much faster to eschew Numpy. After some additional optimizations to avoid modulos, my version easily handled ~2,000 blocks per second without Numpy.
