Not sure, probably not much, but it ought to show up :-)
There'll be bigger gains on a cpu that has software ilog2().

I've only checked SCTP still works.
I've requested 32k streams on a listener - to force a level-2 tree.
I've also done at least one check with a massive pad in the sctp
stream structure.

I ought to check one of my M3UA or M2PA 'double-reflect' loopback tests.
