I expect using sqrt(x) will be faster than x**.5.
I did test this at one point and was also surprised that sqrt(x) seemed slower than **.5. However I found out otherwise while preparing a timeit script to demonstrate this observation. Unfortunately, I didn't save the precise script I used to explore this issue the first time. On my system for arrays with more than 2 elements, sqrt is indeed faster. For smaller arrays, the different is negligible, but inches out in favor of **0.5. Thanks, -Kevin
