Very simple loop optimization with a significant performance impact.

Microbenchmark results, modern x86-64:

buffer size | speed up
------------+---------
1500        | 1.7x
64          | 1.5x
8           | 1.15x

Microbenchmark results, POWER7:

buffer size | speed up
------------+---------
1500        | 5x
64          | 3.3x
8           | 1.13x

There is a lot of room for further improvement at the expense of
code complexity - aligned multibyte reads, LE/BE considerations,
architecture-specific optimizations, etc. This patch still keeps
things simple and readable.
