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."
