I hadn't had enough coffee when I wrote this. Currently, the final increment of buf depends on the value loaded from the table, and causes gcc to emit a cmov immediately before the return. It is smarter to let it depend on r, since the increment can then be computed in parallel with the final load/store pair. It also shaves 16 bytes of .text.
