That's odd, because my very first posts in this review focused on your
code's unacceptably-poor performance for fixed-size integers. Here's
what I wrote in my review: "Performance of small and fixed-length
integers is poor. This could
be resolved by storing fixed-length values on the stack, or by using
some sort of small buffer optimisation."
