It allows in-place reordering of XYZW, ARGB etc. and access of sub-portions of the same in arbitrary order *without* requiring timeconsuming scalar mv instructions -(scalar due to the convoluted offsets). With somewhere around 10% of +(scalar due to the convoluted offsets). With somewhere between 10% and 30% of operations in 3D Shaders involving swizzle this is a huge saving and reduces pressure on register files.
