The previous change sped up the pure computation form of LeadingZeros8.
This places it somewhat close to the table lookup form.
Depending on something that varies from toolchain to toolchain
(alignment, perhaps?), the slowdown from ditching the table lookup
is either 20% or 5%.
This benchmark is the best case scenario for the table lookup:
It is in the L1 cache already.
I think we're close enough that we can switch to the computational version,
and trust that the memory effects and binary size savings will be worth it.
Code:
func f8(x uint8) { z = bits.LeadingZeros8(x) }
