// SC16Q11_TABLE_BITS notes:

// 11 bits (8MB) gives you full precision, but a large table that doesn't fit in cache
// 9 bits (512kB) will fit in the Pi 2/3's shared L2 cache
//   (but there will be contention from other cores)
// 8 bits (128kB) will fit in the Pi 1's L2 cache
// 7 bits (32kB) will fit in the Pi 1/2/3's L1 cache
