Review comment:
       the meaning of this condition is not that batch 0 is skipped, but rather 
that if the current batch (of 64 bits / elements from the filter array) 
contains only 0s (i.e. all items are filtered out) then the entire batch should 
be skipped as there is no items to copy to the output array (all items are 
filtered out); this continues until a batch is encountered where at least one 
item is not filtered out (and therefore the numeric representation of the batch 
of filter values is != 0); this skipping of entire batches of 64 items is a 
major factor to the performance improvements recently implemented in the filter 
kernel
