First of all, 1 << 31 is technically undefined behaviour, so let's just use an unsigned literal. If i is 'signed int' and gcc doesn't know that i is positive, gcc generates code to compute the C99-mandated values of "i / 32" and "i % 32", which is a lot more complicated than simple a simple shifts/mask. The only caller of paint_down actually passes an "unsigned int" value, but the prototype of paint_down causes (completely well-defined) conversion to signed int, and gcc has no way of knowing that the converted value is non-negative. Just make the id parameter unsigned. In update_refstatus, the change in generated code is much smaller, presumably because gcc is smart enough to see that i starts as 0 and is only incremented, so it is allowed (per the UD of signed overflow) to assume that i is always non-negative. But let's just help less smart compilers generate good code anyway.
