Start optimizing the code.
This commit divides the operations in 2 parts, the first, outside the
critical part, deals with partial blocks of predefined elements, and the
second, inside the critical path, only deals with full blocks of
elements. This reduces the number of expensive operations in the
critical path and results in a decent performance increase.
