In the PowerPC case the patch includes four call-back invocations, all
contained in a 20-line iterator function. I'd hardly call that
"numerous function calls". And I consider it an improvement over the
original code, which had six hard-coded static array initializers with
various copy-/pasted lines, plus the logic for selecting the correct
array. The improvement is even more drastic for S/390. Don't you
agree? Or do you see even more potential for improvement?
