Sorry, I missed this one.  I was actually considering pointing that out, 
but I wasn't sure likely was the way to go -- the old code had the save 
code out of line, and the unlikely one did too.

That said, I'm probably just over-thinking it: most machines have FPUs, 
so having the branch as likely seems reasonable.  I've taken this one 
instead.
