If the comments here are addressed, I think this is probably a good idea.  I agree that making changes that might make code less clear is usually not justified by claims of performance benefit, but done carefully this change can almost certainly be beneficial and not cost any real clarity.

    I think it would be clearer to either add a new constant POSITION_MOTION_THRESHOLD_SQUARED or to write these like
    
     ... < (POSTION_MOTION_THRESHOLD*POSITION_MOTION_THRESHOLD).
    
    (and same convention elsewhere)

Vector distance comparisons should, IMHO, always be done squared.  So I did some greppin, manual analysis, and some careful modification, and here's the result.
