For cases like these, I would prefer to use "linesize[i] * (h - 1) + w" 
instead. For cases if copying e.g. into an offsetted position within a 
buffer, writing the last trailing padding would end up writing out of 
bounds.

That said, I'm unsure about how much gain you get from this optimization 
here - some numbers to back it up would be useful.
