>    Affects Versions: Nightly Builds
>         Environment: Android 2.3 (Dalvik VM with JIT)

> Working on an Android application using Orekit, I've discovered that a simple FastMath.floor() takes about 4 to 5 secs on a 1GHz Nexus One phone (only the first time it's called). I've launched the Android profiling tool (traceview) and the problem seems to be linked with the static portion of FastMath code named "// Initialize tables"
> The timing resulted in :
> - FastMath.slowexp (40.8%)
> - FastMath.expint (39.2%)
>  \- FastMath.quadmult() (95.6% of expint)
> - FastMath.slowlog (18.2%)
> Hoping that would help
> Thanks!
