I've made this change in the attached patch. But in my testing, any
speed difference is so small as to get lost in the noise, and I think
it makes it less readable, so I'm tempted to revert.

I'm afraid I don't quite see what you mean by using 1 paddd and 1 por.
The attached patch does have a slight improvement in this piece of
code, but I doubt it's what you meant.

Split asm and branched in C.

Splitting the asm also means that I'm down to 5 "r" constraints.
