True so a test to confirm that the calculating functions/procedure are 
really the bottleneck, would need to be written, and compare it to the 
equivalent c++ program with the same calculations

It would just be silly to start optimizing the calculation functions 
without any evidence that those are the issue..

If it's fpc's internal functions such as sqrt() I wonder what those 
internal functions actually are. Right now they are just magic, pointing 
to a magic number, in my mind
