I did my tests only on low end hardware. 32bit PPC e500 single core 800MHz
256K cache. Maybe it prefers early return statements. 

Additionally I ended up clearing the context in the finish function with a 
simple inlined 32bit writes loop. Everything else (e.g. memzero) resulted in 
slower processing. Don't know what your clearing syntax will produce after
compilation.
