Did you miss the performance concern I mentioned just a little
earlier?  A large cluster of objects with similar X coordinates and
widely dispersed Y and/or Z coordinates will return a bunch of
extraneous objects that you'll have to check Y and Z coordinates for.

You really ought to consider R-trees, as there has been extensive
reasearch on them and they are widely used in practice for just the
kind of thing you're doing.
