I have not taken my time to think about the overhead of your problem in 
depth. I'd simply expect, that you know that area better. From my 
current point of view I think, that the efficiency issue chould be 
solved with specializations for base 2.

Is there a place, where I can read your code to see, how you have 
implemented that?

Thanks.
