That is a good point. It is clearly specific to the compiler whether a switch-case will be turned into a series of conditional branches or simply creating an internal jump table with lookup. And it is true that most compilers, if I understand correctly, use the jump-table approach for any switch-case over 2 or 3 entries when the cases are tightly grouped and near 0. That is probably why the original code worked so fast. I'll see if I can combine the best of both approaches.
