I did some basic tests with that too and compared with what we have now, but
the difference was not very big so I left the current approach.

If we want to increase speed further we can actually convert the function into
a macro for the ascii case, or otherwise make sure that it gets used inlined.
But I think the biggest speed increase has already been made. But if someone
can provide numbers on further notable speed gains I'm all ears!

If there are a lot of cookies, there will be much bigger speed gains to be had
by improving other areas.
