Assuming the trig results will be fixed, it's probably worth pointing out
one of the conclusions:
"It would be foolish to offer blanket recommendations about which languages
to use in which situations, but it seems clear that performance is no longer
a compelling reason to choose C over Java (or perhaps even over Visual J#,
Visual C#, or Visual Basic)--especially given the extreme advantages in
readability, maintainability, and speed of development that those languages
have over C."
That is good for us!

Subject: Performance Benchmarks
For those of you who don't follow Slashdot, OS News has done a benchmark
test run of several languages, see http://osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5602
They assesment that JDK 1.4.2's trigonometry support and said "...the
trigonometry performance of Java 1.4.2 can only be described as dismal.
It was bafflingly bad..." which is not good for us!
