Title: Improved performance of minkowski-distance

Re-implemented minkowski-distance function to improve performance.

The buik of the problem was in the absolute value function Math/abs which we replaced with a clojure fast-abs function. fast-abs uses *' as opposed to * for multiplication to promote numeric values automatically.
