I don't think that would help. This is not a normal distribution, 
so mean and median don't match anyways. What would you learn from 
the median?

When looking at the assembly I don't like the single-byte loads. 
Since string (ubyte[] here) is of extraordinary importance, it 
should be worthwhile to use word loads [0] instead. Really fancy 
would be SSE.

However, this is more advanced and requires further introspection.
