I've flashed my CM3 with the old stuff I've found - when running below code with 34digits I get (I've added your result for comparison):

Code:

TRIG9
TRIG9= 9.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 227
yours: 8.999 999 999 999 999 999 999 999 999 937 535
Elapsed x1 =201 ms

Code:

#define _PI  "3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751"
//  TRIG9 PRECISION TEST
cout<<"TRIG9"<<endl;
decfp tmp, PI;
PI = _PI;
tmp = "9.0";  // 9 DEGREE
// deg to rad
timer = millis;
tmp = tmp *  PI / "180.0";
tmp = arcsin ( arccos ( arctan ( tan ( cos ( sin ( tmp ) ) ) ) ) ) ;
// rad to deg
tmp = tmp * "180.0" / PI;
timer = millis - timer;
cout<<"TRIG9= "<<tmp<<endl;
cout<<"Elapsed x1 ="<<timer<<" ms"<<endl;

But I've learned you do rounding after each calculation so maybe that is what makes the diff..
