Removing conversion showed no measureable difference with 200,000
iterations. I did not test this at 1 million

I think that one complex function would have a speed advantage if it were
rearranged to fit a specific use. The individual functions which I used to
find x,y,&z contained operations which were common to each function. One
complex macro could perform the repetitive operations once while 3 simple
functions has to perform the operations for each vector.
