I suppose these days the big inline sequences for the rounding functions
are no longer profitable for generic tuning (assuming 'generic' nowadays
includes SSE41 support).  Esp. floor/ceil includes jumpy compensation
code.

Note that (x - floor(x)) < (ceil(x) - x) looks like some clever simplification
might speed it up.  Not that I can come up with sth off my head...
