This table shows that
# FastMath's log is about 1.7 times slower than Math's log
# FastMath's log10 is about 4.5 times slower than Math's log10
# FastMath's log(10, x), which calls log twice, is about 3.2 times slower than
Math's log10
Small note: the performance difference between Math's log and log10 is not
significant (in some runs, log is faster, in others log10 is faster).

> Key: MATH-740
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-740
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Gilles
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.1
>
>
> From the two benchmarks we currently have in "FastMathTestPerfomance", we
> have that the following functions are much slower in "FastMath" than in
> either "Math" or "StrictMath" (the performance *loss*, for each of the
> benchmarks, is given in parentheses):
> * log10 (46%, 36%)
> * log1p (68%, 112%)
> * tan (11%, 61%)
> * atan (26%, 125%)
> * atan2 (44%, 40%)
