Why not? IMHO, complex operations requiring a great deal of operations per word, like trigonometric, exponential, etc..., are the best candidates to take advantage of several cores or even SSE instructions (not sure whether SSE supports this sort of operations, though). At any rate, this is exactly the kind of parallel optimizations that make sense in Numexpr, in the sense that you could obtain decent speedups with multicore processors.
