I should have googled before I posted; the concept of "unrolling" a loop is
one that I knew, I'd just never heard it called that. For that situation I
agree that the loop is usually more 'elegant' but that the straight-thru
code can be faster. It's always a trade-off between size, speed and
maintainability.
