    SubjectRe: [PATCH] Reduce the number of expensive division instructions done by _parse_integer()
    Btw, what was the load that you noticed this on?

    Because quite frankly, I think we only support bases 8/10/16 in the
    kernel, and if you really have some case where this all is expensive,
    it might be better to simply have three different functions for the
    three bases. That would turn the multiplies into constants too, and
    also simplify the character tests.

    That said, I can't really see how this could ever be all that hot a
    function. Did you ever see it in a profile, or was this all just from
    looking at the code?
