you should do `X / length(X)`. Look at length implemented above it is just `sqrt(dot(X, X));` so that means X/sqrt(dot(X, X)); you are doing X * rsqrt(dot(X, X)) --> X * 1/sqrt(dot(X,X) which means you are doing an extra multiply which probably gets optomied away by O1 but still would be good not to do.
