Speed gain here is irrelevant here, and disputable.

One thing which could be problematic is that we could loose the least 
significant bit in mode->clock,
in case non-progressive, but I am not sure if it really matters, as 
mode->clock is not precise value anyway.
Alternatively we could 1st shift, then divide, but in this case overflow 
can occur, at least in theory - I suspect there are no such big clocks 
(in kHz).

Finally I would agree with Dan, readability is better with conditional.
