It's not a huge deal though. Yes, I was hoping the compiler would be wise enough to fold the shift into the constant, but I didn't actually check the assembly output... I took the time to write a quick benchmark and the version without shift is indeed notably faster. That said, I'll go the extra mile and send a v4. Thanks for the review! O.M.
