The tier's keys and positions in range for every round, checked once where their loop opens (each affine in its round: both ends below the limit), the checks in the round gone; constants in the instructions (add, sub, cmp); one-byte columns widened to four where the tier begins, its loads and stores of four bytes only. roots 14.0 to 14.0 ms, knapsack 38.8 to 16.5, matmul 48.6 to 25.7
