Using macros for speed optimisations is pretty much obsolete nowadays.

The only kind of reason you'd use macros, is because C++ doesn't handle 
function calls well. Oh, most of the time it does; but it refuses to 
consider data types as being values. That's where I use macros instead. 
Nowadays, I even pass macros as arguments to macros.
