No, divisions and modulo are still very slow. According the Intel
Architecture Guide, div has a latency of at least 56 cycles compared to
less than 20 cycles for all integer multiplication instructions.
Throughput is at best 1/4 as well. Please check your test case (and the
assembler output) carefully for not hitting the unsigned division
optimisation I mentioned earlier...
