Subject: Re: [musl] [PATCH] Decreasing the number of divisions

You're looking at clang -O3, if you use gcc -Os (usual for musl
users/distros) you'll notice that gcc actually ends up emitting a div
instruction, which are known to be slow.

But I don't think trying to optimize around gcc's bad codegen is the
right move. It's better to just not use -Os with gcc. Which musl already
does since commit b90841e25832.
