While it's possible, and, I think, likely, that this optimization was "inspired" by cordic, it has been written in such a way that it has applicability beyond that test. This really is an optimization that can apply to other functions, just as long as they meet certain criteria. http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/11/lies-damned-li(...)

[...]That really isn't the case here; of course the optimization helps the overall score, but the scores of the top browsers are so similar (all in the 200-300 millisecond range) that they're just trading places without any meaningful difference between them. Even without the optimization, Internet Explorer 9 achieves a score within that range; it doesn't need, and isn't getting, a 179.art-style boost to its scores.
Depending on the time of day, the French go either way.
