Transcendental functions in a benchmark were discussed here, where the speedup of a mix of floating point and transcendental functions shows about twice what you got. Your benchmark shows it is more transcendental-intensive than the benchmark I ran.

As a matter of fact, my benchmark is mainly a succession of transcendental functions, one after the other...

I tried the TMENU functionality. Very powerful. For now I am just using it for quick unit entry and conversion but I see the potential.

I guess that in an upcoming revision, it would be the perfect time implement a basic mathematical soft key menu accessible by pressing the MTH key. For now it would only offer the mathematical function already implemented but its functionality would grow with each new rev...
