will do. last time was waay more complex than this, so much harder to estimate
properly. The pseudo-code basically has the entire algorithm already thought
out, all I need to do is optimize from there (e.g. try to use only one
shift/rotate unit).

yup, already knew that, hence why I suggested the new FUs.
