Just a couple of comments about those 0xffff.. and 1111111111
in my post.
(By the way, i haven't looked to closely on speed even if the OP asked
for that, i was unsure on how he was coding his numbers).

if the input is a 8 bit signed binary string then bit 7 determine the
sign. 0xffffff00 will then make this to an 32 signed integer

bindec returns a 32 bit signed integer, i just make sure that the
leftmost bits in the 32 character long string are 1 if the leftmost bit
in the original string is 1.
