              The ideal way to optimize the constants would be to have a carefully-tuned
              lookup-table instead of the get_max_count function, but
              4 tuning variables is simpler, get_max_count enforces
              worst-case performance minimization rules, and such a lookup table
              would be difficult to optimize for cross-platform performance.
            
              Alternatively, get_max_count could be used to generate
              a static lookup table. This hasn't been done due to concerns about
              cross-platform compatibility and flexibility.
