I wrote that algorithm! A year later I found Hacker's delight, a wonderful book that had a much "faster" version of the same algorithm (less ops).

For anyone interested in this kind of things, you should go read that book. It actually is a delight.

Which algorithm are you referring to?

I'd guess the linked one at the anchor #NextBitPermutation.

Anchor has since been removed, so the gp comment will look odd from here on out.
