I thought 'definline' addresses exactly that...cases where one might
want to pull out small pieces of first class functionality without
sacrificing performance and without macros (which are not
first-class)...am I mistaken?

ps: the only similarly big function that I've ever written (still
smaller than this one) was for a GUI of mine and basically the Java
interop caused it to be that big - it's not doing anything complicated
like this one. I could not maintain such a function like the one shown
here....

Also, splitting it out into smaller chunks, if by that you mean
functions, requires care in Clojure to avoid boxing and unboxing of
primitive numbers. It is possible, but can be an additional hurdle
when trying to optimize code. Macros can be better in that regard.
