	Your implementation, although interesting is never going to be as
quick as the native versions of these functions built into modern
processors. A 'sin' is a handful of cycles and can be interleaved with
other floating point ops [ ok so not via PInvoke it can't :-], it would be
hundreds of times more efficient to just invoke the C routine which should
go to the co-proc.
