I was just curious of how much the looping takes time without
conversion, so I added this.
My results on Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz:
benchmarked noop: 1.876349827s
benchmarked magic: 2.245844470s
benchmarked div: 12.709085309s
benchmarked mul: 7.504838141s
Mul seems to take 15x the time magic does, cool!
Btw. the simple default cast of int32_t to double is slower than magic
for me, hence the use of union.
