/* 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
* (code locality etc.). Actual timings with NIST curve P-192 and
* 192-bit scalars show that w = 3 (instead of 4) is preferrable;
* and timings with NIST curve P-521 and 521-bit scalars show that
* w = 4 (instead of 5) is preferrable. So we round up all the
* boundaries and use the following table:
*
* w >= 6 if b >= 1500
* w = 5 if 1499 >= b >= 550
* w = 4 if 549 >= b >= 200
* w = 3 if 199 >= b >= 55
* w = 2 if 54 >= b >= 20
* w = 1 if 19 >= b
