I saw this change to speedup the mapgen: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/commit/b701f8a878b7c76a33d7c3540a4b5e9c6e6b31ac
It replaced the slow pow function.
Then I stumpled upon this:
https://github.com/jordan4ibanez/minetest/commit/37d6c3a2f19854caf6dfeb352cb9f6c50bb52757
Ok, it's jordan4ibanez's fork, but it's the same in celeron55's in camera.cpp:
There is usage of slow sin- and pow-function in the digging and bobbing animation. There are faster ways for the sin-function: lookup-tables, approximations, interpolations... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6091837/sin-and-cos-are-slow-is-there-an-alternatve
Is this worth to be optimized or is it fast enough because it's called only sporadically?

I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
Potential speed improvement?
