Yeah, data layout/cache aware layouts are really key if you really want to unlock making something that ends up in a hot loop fast with SIMD.
Also, avoiding allocations or vtable lookups or a lot of indirection in the part of the code that's actually "hot" is really important. Vectors (in C++) at least aren't necessarily the best fit either, if you end up doing anything that can call an allocation unexpectedly.
