Interesting that they are making such heavy wind of their 'innovations' like loop unrolling. I would be interested in how much mileage they will get out of those tricks in more complicated code. I do not intend to disparage their approach, but maintaining code with too many cute optimizations costs a lot of man hours to debug and extend. Additionally you are never sure (at least with java) how the code is actually executed across the different jvm implementations (as we have seen with the whole FastMath.exp function debate here on the list). Good press for Apache Commons Math!
