Sure, but if the flow-graph basically is decimated 10:1 by the time it reaches the log10, improvements in log10 are going to have very little impact. It is, I would assert, boldly and perhaps brashly, that log10 operations almost never need to be done at "line rate", since they are an artifice imposed by wanting to use standard engineering units. There's very little need to do internal DSP math in standard engineering units...
