Hi Nicolas,

I suppose the "small enough" is linked to the "!(div >> 32)" in your patch.  Can
I have the rationale which brought up this value, and if that value is universal
across architectures (ie. x86/ppc/arm/...) ?

And when you say "much faster", do you have figures to add to your commit
message ?

Cheers.
