It's not just CF and JS. It's any computation that's performed by the floating point processor on your CPU. It's a hardware issue, not a software one. There are software solutions (the DECIMAL SQL type, for example) to avoid the issue where you must, but those solutions are significantly less performant that floating point arithmetic, so they're typically used as little as possible.
