Not-So-Faster Sqr( x^2 + y^2 ) by Entity

2002

Argh, I thought a^2 would be translated to a*a by the compiler and they'd be identical, but apparently it actually performs a pow() (tsk?)

This means that this snippet of code was in fact slower than:
dist = Sqr( x*x + y*y )
(Thanks to Beaker for pointing that one out :)
