Make sure you are working from the current 1.2 development branch:
http://svn.xiph.org/experimental/derf/theora-ptalarbvorm/

On x86-64, this should be using SSE2 already for SATD (your profile
shows the MMXEXT versions). It still uses MMXEXT SATD on x86-32 because
the SSE2 versions profiled as slower on an actual 32-bit processor
(where each instruction often requires multiple clocks).
