I know memory access is slow but I would have thought that modern CPU's with thier caching and looking ahead and whatever other 'magic' the Processor Pixies do that using ints would be faster then using ints and then shifting and masking them to get the data.

Of course I could be wrong.. Its something I do a lot.
