The reason I looked here is that the inner while statement (to find the
chunk size) looked out of place and possibly slow, and there's a
bitwise trick we can use instead.

My original test case is a bit too "macro" of a benchmark at this
point, so I'm not sure it's a good guide for these individual micro-
optimizations.
