Hi, lookup tables ARE faster but the problem you have here,
and I'm surprised that nobody noticed it so far, is that
YOUR SWITCH LEADS TO A RUNTIME STRING COMPARISON AT RUNTIME.
Just replace it with a static if (Method = "Linear") {
/*...*/} else { /*...*/}
Also takes care to the type used. With DMD the implicit
coercion of float and double can lead to extra conversions.
You'll directly see a 15% gain after refactoring the switch.
Surely not?!?! Surely the compiler can optimize that switch
since the value passed is CT? I thought the whole point of
not having static switch(analogous to static if) was because
it would go ahead and optimize these cases for us... and it's
just a switch, just a jmp table.
Try by yourself but to be clear note that I don't like your
attitude, which I find disrespectful.
Are you an idiot or on medications? My attitude? What did you
want me to do? Suck your cock? My attitude? Seriously? WHERE?
WHERE? You quoted everything?
I don't like your attitude? You seem to be extremely
oversensitive and take things out of context?
It sounds like you just don't like people questioning you in
any way shape or form even if you are wrong.

Where? I seriously do not like your attitude though! You attack
me when I said nothing offensive to you. You have serious
problems. Get back on or get off the lithium.
[Now, of course, you get to see what an attitude really looks
like... maybe I've taught you a bit about perspective? I doubt
it.]
What amazes me is that you Basilez come in and start stuff and
yet my response to you starting stuff will get deleted and yours
won't... that is typical.
You really have mental issues. No where in my post was I hostile
to you and yet you decided to have a hissy fit. You are a
snowflake that obviously need a ass kicking. That will teach you
not to be so sensitive and interpret things in your own little
cushioned wall universe.
See, no one was attacking you or questioning your intelligence...
that is something you perceived and made up all on your own. But
you will be supported by all the other people who love cushy
walls and koolaid rather than getting the help you need.
