It had to be removed for consistency: All soft-menu keys now have the long-press assigned to help. For the VARS menu, the help shows a preview of the contents of the variable, as you discovered.

The 100x I mentioned is pure floating point (as in the four basic operations). Transcendental functions are slower, so it depends on how many of them your benchmark has. Transcendental functions in a benchmark were discussed here, where the speedup of a mix of floating point and transcendental functions shows about twice what you got. Your benchmark shows it is more transcendental-intensive than the benchmark I ran. Many speed optimizations used to compute transcendental functions simply don't translate well to variable precision, or they need very large amounts of precomputed tables. Still, once everything is finished I'll be able to spend some time to optimize the speed on these functions. For now, slow and accurate is still better than nothing. |
