Hi, I was looking at hprof output for mkgmap after having processed quite a large map and about 40% of the time was being spent in Math.pow() - the attached patch swaps out the pow(x, 0.5) for sqrt(x) and the run time drops from 130 seconds to around 83! Is there any reason not to go for the sqrt version? If not, it's well worth making the change. Cheers, Mark
