- sqrt is also slow.
And I reckon I can beat your best case too.
Ugh… getting the bit representation of a Number (aka float) can’t be inlined.
I was impressed that removing the duplicated p1.x-p2.x and p1.y and p2.y didn’t give a speed improvement, the optimisation must be doing some common expression removal.
Good job.
