Whats 100 nanoseconds? Actually a lot, considering that it means "twice as fast" in these cases. Ive done a lot of optimizations like this a while ago for a highly complex math job that couldnt be done in a plugin, and without saving some micros here and some hundred nanos there the function would have been way too slow to be used.
Sure, cases that really need that stuff are rare, but I dont see the problem in using these optimizations in places where it doesnt hurt the readability.
