Is there any reason to set values as powers of 2? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

For instance, when setting render samples, noise threshold, or domain resolution I set it at 128, 256, etc. I've just done it this way ever since I learned Blender, but does this acutally do anything?

There are many optimizations that can be done when working with numbers that are a power of two
that being said, i have no idea if any such optimizations are done or even applicable here 🤷‍♂️
