Honestly, I didn't consider 32-bit system at all, :(

And after all, it's 64-bit shift 32-bit vs. 64-bit shift 64-bit operations.
I'm not an expert, but I intend to believe they are about the same, because
the arithmetic overhead seems to lie in the left part of the shift operation,
both of which are 64-bit (correct me if I'm wrong).
