} How about not adding byte values but say, long values? We may have to keep
} upto 3 bytes of additional space (avoiding overuns) but get it done in
} about 1/4th of the additions.

The additions are pretty cheap.  The problem with adding bigger chunks is
that the names aren't word aligned, so for each set of 4 bytes, you have
to read two words, extract the desired bytes, and concatenate the results.
