lol! Yeah, I guess so. Pretty nasty loop. LOOPBIT will iterate 8*63=504
times and it's going to do silly bit handling on each and every
iteration.

Given that all it's doing is counting bits, a simple fix would be to
loop over bytes, use XOR and count ones. For extreme speedup create a
lookup table with 256 entries to give you the answer straight away...

Have a nice day,
