Regarding the performance impact -- yes, this will impact performance. 
Both the remap function and register table look up will, but at least 
the remap function is small and (subset of it) ends up inlined, the 
indirect look up table is bigger and unlikely to be inlined. That is why 
I opted for this over a table look up.

I did, but there is a lot of inlining going on.

Please see above.
