It's why I like going for optimisations that try to reduce code size
without sacrificing speed, because of reducing the number of 16-byte or
32-byte sections. Anyhow, back to work with optimising!

It's very likely unrelated to anything the optimiser does or does not

Same here.
I looked up popcnt and found nothing about not setting if zero.
@Marco: havent played with popcnt => it could benefit from the "const to
var" too.
So I played around a bit...
Of course, all this is intel only

var
Mask8, Mask1: qword;
Mask8 := EIGHTYMASK;
Mask1 := ONEMASK;
And the constant no longer is assigned inside the loop.
