I expect using sqrt(x) will be faster than x**.5.
You might want to check that. I believe that x**0.5 is one of the magic special cases that is optimized to run fast (by calling sqrt in this case). IIRC the full set is [-1, 0, 0.5, 1, 2]. These were all of the ones that we believed could be implemented without loosing accuracy relative to using pow. -- . __ . |-\ . . [EMAIL PROTECTED]
