Gilles commented on MATH-579:
-----------------------------
I don't think that a remark like "targets large scale computation" adds any
more information here (i.e. for "FastMath") than it would on any other class
(slow initialization and JIT compiler behaviour is the same).
Also, I guess that if one fires up a Java application that only does a few math
functions calls, there wouldn't be any noticeable time differences; they will
be dwarfed by the JVM startup time.
OK for "won't fix".
> FastMath.pow much slower than Math.pow

> Reporter: Arne Plöse
>
> calculating FastMath.pow(10, 0.1 / 20) is approximately 65 times slower as
> the Math.pow() function.
> Ether this is a bug or a javadoc comment is missing.
