Yes I just measured the timings again:

It is interesting that the number of hits for c_can_do_rx_poll is twice as much
as it was with find_next_bit. Unfortunately this reduces the overall benefit of
this patch. Any ideas how to increase the number of waiting message objects we
handle in one poll call?
