getLSBIndex: Replace PoT lookup table with Math.clz32 #42

Open liamdon opened 11 months ago

liamdon commented 11 months ago

The lookup table approach is really neat, but after running some benchmarks it looks like we can get a ~10-15x speedup by using the built-in Math.clz32()

Benchmark

let n = 2;
for (let i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
    getLSBIndex(n);
    n *= 2;
}
