I don't quite get what you need ...

Rotating a single sample by a given angle is one sin/cos (for which
you use LUT) and a single complex multiply (and gcc is going to have a
pretty optimized version of that).

Doing stuff for single samples at a time, the bottleneck isn't going
to be the computation, it's going to be the load/store from/to memory.

Also are we talking changing the phase by a fixed amount , or an
amount that change after each sample (like the rotator kernel does) ?

Need more info ... In optimization the devil is in the details :p
Also lack of alignement doesn't mean SIMD is out if you have several
of them to do at once ...

Cheers,
