Thanks for the tip. I hadn't heard of this.

Thanks for the tip again! This book looks awesome. In fact, I just 
higher-ordered it.

The code in question is going to go in the function that eats the most
time (as shown by DProf) in my program, so I'm actually going to go with
the pack/unpack solution. It has the benefit of being terribly kinky as
well as fast, so it's a double-win! :)

I might bug you all some more if I can't speed up the slow function.
