How about:

g = ContourPlot[Arg[Gamma[x + I*y]] == 0, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10},
   PlotPoints -> 100]
pts = First@Cases[g, x_GraphicsComplex :> First[x]];

j1[x_, y_] := 2 x/(1 + x^2 + y^2)^2
j2[x_, y_] := 2 y/(1 + x^2 + y^2)^2
j3[x_, y_] := (-1 + x^2 + y^2)/(1 + x^2 + y^2)

Timing[one = pts /. {x_, y_} :> {j1[x, y], j2[x, y], j3[x, y]};]

{0.127167, Null}

one // Dimensions

{8146, 3}

Graphics3D[Point@one]

or

Timing[two = Outer[#2 @@ #1 &, pts, {j1, j2, j3}, 1, 1];]

{0.171188, Null}

one == two

True
