Argh, should have cleaned my glasses first ;-)

I guess I was put somehow put off by the word "expensive". While it's
admittedly not trivial, I wonder if we care about the (hidden) complexity
of that function? I mean it's neither core code nor something called
frequently?
I don't think we have any clock exceeding 3GHz at the moment, but it
sounds fishy to rely on that.
