-------------------------------------------------------------

Yes the Orekit project uses FastMath.pow() but this wasn't accounted because I 
benchmarked <clinit> which is static code initialization. If I benchmark the 
overall time took by FastMath.pow, I get this :

- USE_PRECOMPUTED_TABLES = false => 5.768ms
- USE_PRECOMPUTED_TABLES = true => 182.373ms

benchmark the overall time took by FastMath.pow, it's more like this :

- USE_PRECOMPUTED_TABLES = false => 5.768ms

>             Project: Commons Math
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: Nightly Builds
>         Environment: Android 2.3 (Dalvik VM with JIT)

>            Priority: Minor
>         Attachments: FastMathLoadCheck.java

> Working on an Android application using Orekit, I've discovered that a simple 
> FastMath.floor() takes about 4 to 5 secs on a 1GHz Nexus One phone (only the 
> first time it's called). I've launched the Android profiling tool (traceview) 
> and the problem seems to be linked with the static portion of FastMath code 
> named "// Initialize tables"
> The timing resulted in :
> - FastMath.slowexp (40.8%)
> - FastMath.expint (39.2%)
>  \- FastMath.quadmult() (95.6% of expint)
> - FastMath.slowlog (18.2%)
> Hoping that would help
> Thanks!
