Not yet. You can give it a try by simply temporarily removing the
@Ignore notation in the performance test in FastMathTest to see if we
have done a good job or not.

For widely used functions like cos, sin and the like, yes it would be a
problem. For functions which appear only very seldom in general
algorithms like scalb or nextAfter, it could be accepted. In fact, these
versions are more useful as a way to backport some features from Java 6
to Java 5.
