Kuan-Wei Chiu 950891b5e7 Optimize bsearch() implementation for performance
Optimize the bsearch() function to improve binary search performance.
Although the code size grew by 8 bytes, the new implementation achieves
a 15% reduction in execution time on my x86 machine, according to the
bench-bsearch benchmark results.
