dnl  DISCUSSION:

dnl  Other methods have been tried, and using a 128-entry table actually trims
dnl  about 10% of the execution time (on a 21164) when the table is in the L1
dnl  cache.  But under non-benchmarking conditions, the table will hardly be in
dnl  the L1 cache.  Tricky bit-fiddling methods with multiplies and magic tables
dnl  are also possible, but they require many more instructions than the current
dnl  code.  (But for count_trailing_zeros, such tricks are beneficial.)
dnl  Finally, converting to floating-point and extracting the exponent is much
dnl  slower.
