Dennis, partly, although that was more aimed at speeding division, while the approach here doesn't use division at all. However, thinking about it, the implementation I attached doesn't actually for many cases (it doesn't build as much of the power tree in advance as may be needed). Which I missed because all the test cases I tried had mountains of trailing 0 or 1 bits, not mixtures. So I'm closing this anyway, at least until I can dream up an approach that always works.
