Does the use of functions such as SIN(), COS() etc. have a dramatic effect
on speed. I am messing arround with a sprite routine which performs
1000xSIN() and 1000xCOS() calculations for each of 1000 sprites during the
GsSortSprite() bit and I seem to be achieving around 1 frame per second
(wow.). I disabled the SIN & COS calcs and it flew. I am goind to
pre-calculate the data into an array - but should I have to do that ?
