How would an architecture with a highly-optimized hardware implementation of EML compare with a traditional math coprocessor?
Dreadfully slow for integer math but probably some similar performance to something like a CORDIC for specific operations. If you can build an FPU that does exp() and ln() really fast, it's simple binary tree traversal to find the solution.
