    fastest way to calculate position

    What is the fastest way to calculate a position ("D)
    I have a starting point, a direction (degree in 360 system) and a length.
    I'm using the sin /cos way to get the delta for x and y and add those values. Is there a "smarter" or faster way?

    temp = Direction * 0.017454
    x = Length * Sin(temp)
    y = Length * Cos(temp)

    That's about as fast as it gets really.
