Content Software engineers optimizing realtime code: Too Slow Segfault

Someone really said "I could use a loop" and then proceeded to manually hardcode what appears to be quaternion rotation calculations for every possible case. Each line is a beautiful handcrafted snowflake of copy-pasted arithmetic operations with slightly different array indices. This is what happens when you learn programming from a stenographer. The best part? There's probably a single matrix multiplication library function that could replace this entire screen of madness. But no, someone decided to type out hundreds of lines of p.a.c[i] * p.a.c[j] combinations like they were getting paid by the character. The code review must have been legendary. This is peak "it works, don't touch it" territory. Nobody's refactoring this beast because nobody wants to be the one who breaks the CAE software that's been running in production for 15 years.
