That doesn't add to >much overhead. >Danny Since pow is much, much slower in mingw 3.x than in mingw 2.x, other people started to search for a solution. I found this interesting enough: http://www.willus.com/mingw/ (look at "Some Fast Math Functions" at the end of the page). Thus here, there are two possibilities: to match the standards and provide full-proof math functions, like it is done in current mingw (and in R, consequently)... but sacrificing speed. Or, to rely to online assemble...
