YES! Why not FPU acceleration? That's what it's there for.
Er... is StrictMath already FPU accelerated? If it is then, oh well...
The current Math package is really not very good. Especially
for low level graphics stuff where 5 significant digits is
the minimum accuracy that is useful.

I totally agree. It would be great if the programmer could choose between the
StrictMath implementation which is hard-wired now and maybe something like,
call ist FastMath.
FastMath could be implemented without any guarantees, and really 1:1 instrified
in hotspot to a corresponding CPU instruction if there is any, that would be
really cool :)
