For this reason, we decided to use the masking approach, even if it makes "do nothing" elements as slow as the rest.

This type of "masking" approach is not suitable for the elements labeled as "slow" (the ones involving `sqrt` and `exp`), since all elements would need a computation time of "slow" and "fast" combined.

The fact that there are so few "slow" elements (around 0.3%) makes it possible to try to use the "vextract" method.

Since the instruction is unavailable, we used a loop of `vmfirst` in order to mask the "slow" elements in the vector register and update them separately using the serial function `compute_iterj_special`.
