Of course I meant channels instead pixels... However for simple
mainpulations the shifting and masking is much more work than simply
operating on one channel at once, especially since those simple
operations have a much higher chance to be scheduled into different
units in the CPU (superscalar processing is quite common) than code
where you have a lot of depencies. So even if this approach would result
in less instructions it probably might run slower.
