Coming back to sin/cos: Previously the fsincos hardware instruction was used and it is highly inaccurate for larger values - and therefore we had to use a software implementation.
You mean that some of the hardware cpu math instructions are inaccurate, and thus we have to use again software implementations, as we did 20 years ago before the math coprocesor was invented? That's a shame :-(
