No, it has a fix cost, whatever the operand is.
It has another advantage: it does not need any intermediate variable,
which is great when running on CISC host in the Qemu execution
environmnent.

Yes. But it's false.... It shoudl be val &= val - 1
instead of val  ^= val - 1...

I did tests on my PC, which will imho close the debate: the Sparc
implementation is at least 50 % faster. I did generate 2 ^ 29 random
numbers to achieve this test (and checked that the repartition was OK).
