You're right.  I made the effort to look back into the days of v3.0,
and the only thing I could find is that the 32 bit implementation of
div_s64 does extra operations and invokes an additional function call.
But the difference in performance, if any, is probably not very large.

Yeah, I see div_s64 has found its way into the ntp code, too, so it
must be fine.

Thanks,
Richard
