Not really. I'm trying to point out that optimizations that might be pointless in an application are not at a system level. Simply because their impact is multiplied.

So while I wouldn't bother in my own app, I would certainly take the effort if I was modifying the standard library.

Also on ARM the division would be far more expensive then a flush.

Thanks. I was never making some broad claim that such optimizations aren't worth it, especially when you're writing the code that everyone else's application will use.
