Remove unnessary check

Browse source 
The call to Empty() was originally meant as an optimization in the
lookup phase. However, the performance implications are substantial:
this check operates in O(f(m/8)) where m is the number of bits in the
Bloom filters and f a function that looks for the first non-empty block
of bits.

As the Bloom filter fills up, the check for Empty() becomes no longer
negligible and can lead to serious performance degradations when Bloom
filters are used frequently.
