The library version was compiled with gcc 2.8.1, which seems faster
than the 16 seconds below with 2.95; but in any case your modified
code seems faster.

I'm not sure the accuracy of the numbers, but it appears:

2.8.1  14 seconds
2.9.5  16 seconds
3.2.1  20 seconds

A dump of the assembler for each of these would be interesting.
