/* For window size 'w' (w >= 2), we compute the odd multiples
 *      1*P .. (2^w-1)*P.
 * This accounts for  2^(w-1)  point additions (neglecting constants),
 * each of which requires 16 field multiplications (4 squarings
 * and 12 general multiplications) in the case of curves defined
 * over GF(p), which are the only curves we have so far.
 *
 * Converting these precomputed points into affine form takes
 * three field multiplications for inverting Z and one squaring
 * and three multiplications for adjusting X and Y, i.e.
 * 7 multiplications in total (1 squaring and 6 general multiplications),
 * again except for constants.
 *
 * The average number of windows for a 'b' bit scalar is roughly
 *          b/(w+1).
 * Each of these windows (except possibly for the first one, but
 * we are ignoring constants anyway) requires one point addition.
 * As the precomputed table stores points in affine form, these
 * additions take only 11 field multiplications each (3 squarings
 * and 8 general multiplications).
 *
 * So the total workload, except for constants, is
 *
 *        2^(w-1)*[5 squarings + 18 multiplications]
 *      + (b/(w+1))*[3 squarings + 8 multiplications]
 *
 * If we assume that 10 squarings are as costly as 9 multiplications,
 * our task is to find the 'w' that, given 'b', minimizes
 *
 *        2^(w-1)*(5*9 + 18*10) + (b/(w+1))*(3*9 + 8*10)
 *      = 2^(w-1)*225 +           (b/(w+1))*107.
 *
 * Thus optimal window sizes should be roughly as follows:
 *
 *    w >= 6  if         b >= 1414
 *     w = 5  if 1413 >= b >=  505
 *     w = 4  if  504 >= b >=  169
 *     w = 3  if  168 >= b >=   51
 *     w = 2  if   50 >= b >=   13
 *     w = 1  if   12 >= b
 *
 * If we assume instead that squarings are exactly as costly as
 * multiplications, we have to minimize
 *      2^(w-1)*23 + (b/(w+1))*11.
 *
 * This gives us the following (nearly unchanged) table of optimal
 * windows sizes:
 *
 *    w >= 6  if         b >= 1406
 *     w = 5  if 1405 >= b >=  502
 *     w = 4  if  501 >= b >=  168
 *     w = 3  if  167 >= b >=   51
 *     w = 2  if   50 >= b >=   13
 *     w = 1  if   12 >= b
 *
 * Note that neither table tries to take into account memory usage
 * (allocation overhead, code locality etc.).  Actual timings with
 * NIST curves P-192, P-224, and P-256 with scalars of 192, 224,
 * and 256 bits, respectively, show that  w = 3  (instead of 4) is
 * preferrable; timings with NIST curve P-384 and 384-bit scalars
 * confirm that  w = 4  is optimal for this case; and timings with
 * NIST curve P-521 and 521-bit scalars show that  w = 4  (instead
 * of 5) is preferrable.  So we generously round up all the
 * boundaries and use the following table:
 *
 *    w >= 6  if         b >= 2000
 *     w = 5  if 1999 >= b >=  800
 *     w = 4  if  799 >= b >=  300
 *     w = 3  if  299 >= b >=   70
 *     w = 2  if   69 >= b >=   20
 *     w = 1  if   19 >= b
