It's a widely held belief in computer circles that one should first look
to make things faster by fixing the algorithms, then optimize those pieces
of code that really, really need it by making AND PROFILING incremental
changes like this one.  POV still has lots of places where the algorithms
could be sped up; spending time on tiny speedups like this doesn't really
make sense.

That's just my opinion, of course.
