The reason is that I felt it looked good ;-)
Well, not only: the "large chunk" branch operates 8bytes at a time on
64bit systems, so if we use it on a 15B string it will only consult the
first 8B which I thought wasn't good enough, whereas I felt that
ignoring the last 7B of a 23B string was acceptable.
