This is a follow-up of the previous pull request (#1686) by Miguel.
We simplify the "Overload" bonus condition by re-using the "weak"
variable, which captures well the essence of the overload condition.
This may also be a small speed optimization because the weak variable
is in a register at this point of the code.
