So minor optimizations in hand-written assembly pay off for code density. This PR does a little x86-specific polishing: `testptr` where possible, short forward branches where possible. I rewired some code to make it abundantly clear the branches in question are short. It also makes clear that lots of the affected methods are essentially fall-through.
