TechnocratiK is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Trig functions and type conversion

OK, although my good friend Pat Fairbank posted the algorithm, I wrote it, and can assure you that there is a flaw in it (although I haven't had the time to look at it). Moreover, although theoretically the integer math should be faster, in empirical tests, the stock math library proved to be about 6 times faster than the CORDIC algorithm I wrote. Although at the moment I have no plans to rewrite the CORDIC algorithm, given enough public pressure, I might consider doing so. Sorry for the inconvenience.
