I'll try to test in on my end.

Yep, got to get rid of unlikely.

I bet just dividing by weight + 1 unconditionally would be cheaper than
doing the test and shouldn't skew results too badly.

Doctor, I think the cure is worse than the disease. I'd expect that even
if all these extra loads hit cache they should together be more expensive
than the divide they save. Not that I have any better solutions myself.

I think a patch to get rid of unlikely and to change these two div64_64 to
0s should be pushed up. Not sure what we do about the divide.
