Allan,
One further small tweak.
Your refinement:
s1[w_] := (Tr[#1] - Tr[#1 Drop[w, 1]] & )[Drop[w, -1]]
My tweak is to use BitAnd instead of multiplication:
s2[w_] := (Tr[#1] - Tr[BitAnd[#1, Drop[w, 1]]] & )[Drop[w, -1]]
Testing:
tst = Table[Random[Integer], {10^7}];
In[4]:=
s1[tst]//Timing
s2[tst]//Timing
Out[4]=
{0.641 Second, 2498910}
Out[5]=
{0.5 Second, 2498910}
So, BitAnd appears to be slightly faster.
