So you have an array of a modular type, calculate an index and bit within it, 
mask out that bit, and compare it to zero? I would have thought an unpacked 
array of Boolean would be fastest.

A packed array of Boolean requires all the operations above, plus shifting the 
bit to the LSB and treating the result as a Boolean, so it may not be that 
surprising that it's slower.
