This is not much of a surprise. Afaik, only 6 includes a IEEE double precision FPU. I suppose you do all your computations using doubles? Depending on your requirements, you can use a simple table approach and interpolate between points, which is fast and somewhat inaccurate, or refine the result further using three or four steps of an iterative algorithm (using trigonometric identities, you can bring back your angle to, say, [0, pi/4] and perform a Taylor series approximation or something equivalent to get the final result).
