Yes. First rule of optimization: don't optimize something that's
statistically irrelevant.

I wish that attitude was more prevalent in the ricer community.
I've been getting emails from a Gentoo ricer suggesting a whole

were valid, but the vast majority were not measurably faster as
measured by the benchmark program shipped with libsndfile.
