Plus - changing them all to 64-bit integers even for cases that will not 
ever require > 32-bit integers, is likely to be slower in all cases 
except for cases those that can be optimized to use only registers. I 
would use "int" by choice for any size that will never extend beyond 1 
Gb as it is likely to perform the best.
