I did try to reproduce these figures on a Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4214
with gcc 15.2.0. Here is what "make bench" gives for the reciprocal-throughput
of sinf with your "box2d" traces, both with glibc master and with the sinf
patch contributed by Adhemerval. I prefer to give timings in cycles because
these are very small numbers:
master sinf patch
box2d-small 8.2 10.4 (+27%)
box2d-hard 9.9 12.6 (+27%)
box2d-mixed 9.6 11.3 (+18%)
We can see that "sinf patch" is slower by less than 3 cycles in all cases.
