I do, a bit, but it seldom comes up in my games.
I'd change your rule for vertical jumps to Move/2, in feet. That's the same amount as your suggestion, but rounded somewhat more finely. As heights are more commonly measured in feet than yards this is also more convenient (and avoids the average person having no high jump at all).
I will say that if it started coming up a lot, I'd pre-calculate all the PC's distances (I'd ask my players to do it for their characters, but then it'd never get done). Also, if someone took lots of Jumping skill or Super Jump I'd assume they were intending to use the rules a lot and would ask for pre-calculations.
