I've know one what that even more clever. It just noticed I didn't use
the result, and skipped the whole loop.

After each iteration, call an empty function, separately compiled,
that takes all three vectors as arguments (and _not_ as const *
of course). No more tricks. The overhead is peanuts compared
to the calculation.
