you might be better off just using ints (32 bits) instead of 8, or
worse, 16 bit quantities.

most probably changing things from 32 bit quantities to 16 bit
quantities will make your program run slower because of the extra
indexing required.

did you actually profile your code to see where the bottlenecks are?
