I'm just wondering whether

if (newsize > 4096) newsize = 4096;

can be removed, because:

hwrate is verified to be between 3 and 255, so 10000/hwrate will be

39 < hwrate < 3333

and ignoring the lower two bits, (& ~3),

36 < hwrate < 3332

so:

for (new2size = 128; new2size < newsize; new2size <<= 1) ;

will never cause new2size to evaluate to more than 4096 anyway.

(as far as I can see).

John.
