a multiply, divide and two adds aren't bad for a projection. Thats about as 
fast as I could possibly get it? Do you know any other ways?
But just remember, a good perspective can be 256, so a multiply can be 
replaced with a very fast bit shitf. (<<8)

Speed and accuracy can both be acheived. I will be happy to post some code of 
mine for you if you want.

So is there an engine for this from Fuzzy Logic? I would like to see it.
