Actually I told myself they were magic.  Well, since bit operations are
obviously very fast I thought they would dramatically improve performance.  It
turns out they actually reduce it (in my case -- and maybe I'm doing something
wrong).  However, it should make certain evaluations faster, so as I keep adding
more knowledge to it, I expect it will be superior in the long run.

Thanks,

Mike.
