Comment(by johnmaddock):

 >1. Are the underlying algorithms for the two functions the same?

 Yes.  However, there may be detail differences that make one version or
 the other slightly faster.

 >2. Is it possible to change the internal function variables to static
 storage?

 No, that wouldn't be thread safe (obviously constants are already static).

 >3. How about using forceinline on Windows? Dunno what it's on Linux.

 Maybe, that's sort of a last resort, there are still plenty of other
 things to work on first!

 John.
