[erlang-questions] Why is decode_packet so fast?

Hello.

I think, it means that it isn't possible to make your own decoder as
fast as decode_packet using bit syntax (I beleive it can be done in
different ways, but didn't try all them)?

Thanks! I've tried and new results are: [{330,358},{170,180}]
