I am not so sure this is a bug. The expression becomes 0+0/0 for
xx=yy=zz=0. When "Speed" is chosen, I assume the algorithm
samples the expression at far fewer points and likely misses the
singularity. Conversely, when "Quality" is chosen the
singularity isn't missed. I would guess the issue is due to the
presence of this singularity.
