On modern versions of Android running in AOT mode
FloatMath is slower than Math. Calls to Math.sqrt(),
etc. are replaced by intrinsics which can be as small
as a single CPU opcode.
When running in interpreted mode the new
implementation is unfortunately slower, but I'm
judging this acceptable and likely to be improved
over time. This change saves a small amount of native
code.
Example timings:
Mako AOSP AOT:
Method: Original / New / Direct call to Math
ceil: 596ns / 146.ns / 111ns
sqrt: 694ns / 56ns / 25ns
Mako AOSP interpreted:
Method: Original / New / Direct call to Math
ceil: 1900ns / 2307ns / 1485ns
sqrt: 1998ns / 2603ns / 1788ns
Other calls Mako AOT:
Method: Original / New
cos: 635ns / 270ns
exp: 566ns / 324ns
floor: 604ns / 150ns
hypot: 631ns / 232ns
pow: 936ns / 643ns
sin: 641ns / 299ns
The advice to use Math directly, in preference to
FloatMath, is still good. FloatMath will be deprecated
separately.
