DistanceToSquared Method

[Frusciante]

Hello fellow grasshoppers,

I’m currently developing a process that tries to find distances between points, and I found the one called DistanceToSquared.

I just want to understand why would this process faster? I would really love an insight into why this is true, so I can properly employ the method.

Thanks for any insight!

The function removes the need to compute the square root to get the length.

That is simple and elegant explanation lol. Thank you very much!
