Bruce,
have you even taken one single look at the test? It does 100 of each add, sub, mul and div, these are the fast
operations that don't really take much time.
Then it does 10 of each sqrt(), ln(), log10(), pow10() and 10 combined power(ln()). These are the time
consuming operations, working iterative alas Newton, Taylor and McLaurin. All that is done with 10 digits
after the decimal point only!
So again, WHAT exactly do you mean with "pair it back"? Sorry, I don't get it. Do you want to remove the
entiretest? Reduce it to an INSERT, one SELECT (so that we know the input- and output functions work)
and the four basic operators used once? Well, that's a hell of a test, makes me really feel comfortable. Like
the mechanic kicking against the tire then saying "I ain't see noth'n wrong with the brakes, ya sure can
makea trip in the mountains". Yeah, at least once!
