* no big tables (it seems)

Tables are used by "FastMath" ("FastMathLiteralArrays").
bq. So it's normal you can't just replace one with another
Ideally, that should be feasible; especially useful if the trade-off is large
and some applications have different requirements (speed vs accuracy).
Someone should definitely put forward some real-life benchmarks (or
application) that show significant speed differences, as we already had heated
discussions for what I considered an utterly insignificant speed gain (a few
milliseconds over an application's whole life)...
{quote}
Meanwhile, there are a few methods from JODK's FastMath
that might fulfill commons-math requirements, and be faster, [...]
{quote}
That would be really nice.
Could you provide a patch?
bq. several methods are noticeably slower, like log/log10/log1p/atan/atan2
Yes, that was already noticed (MATH-740).
bq. for some values all hell breaks loose:
We should definitely track these bugs in their own tickets. Thanks!

> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: Mac OS 10.8.2, Java 7
> Reporter: Konstantin Berlin
> Attachments: SineTest.java

> The FastMath.sin (maybe other functions too) are not nearly as fast as some
> other libraries that can be found on the internet.
> The *much* faster code can be found here

> JDK Time: 0.698
> Apache Time: 0.491
> Alternative Time: 0.18
> I will add my test code as soon as I figure out how.
