No, multiplication is a pretty fast operation, and the added branches to test would cause more overhead than what you would save. But, division is a very slow operation, and I believe that even with the extra branches it would still help. If we do this, it should be a separate patch anyway, where we can actual do measurements to see if there was an improvement, and revert if not. -- Steve
