The rest of the code is numerical so it will not change by much the fact that d cannot get back the huge launching time. At the microsecond level(even nano) it counts because of electrical consumption, size of hardware, heat and so on.
You say you are worried about microseconds and power consumption, but you are suggesting launching a new process - a lot of overhead - to do a small amount of numerical work.
Surely no matter what programming language you use you would not want to work like this?
