-       /* decision tree multiplication:
-          there is only a limited number of coefficients, so we heavily
-          optimize for those only, and only compute the bits we
-          actually need. this reduces cycle count from 38 for the
-          (optimized) classic approach to 31. instruction count
-          increases from 38 to 100. in the end it turned out that we
-          would've had enough cycles to spare to just use the standard
-          algorithm.
