That'd help a bit.  Though I'd just go with a for loop, the while
clearly doesn't look any better - I was just suggesting it without
actually having tried writing it out.

Yeah, but if that percieved performance is already instantaneous there's
no need to worry :)  My first thought would've been to just continue on
sample rates we don't like rather than trying to break out of an
iteration of 4 steps early.
