Which is why CPUs have natural log as a built-in FP operation.
That's not quite true, as far as I know. The FPU log instructions (FYL2X and FYL2XP1) use base 2, but the FPU also provides FLDLN2 and FLDLG2 constant-loading instructions to allow for easy conversion to natural and base-10 logs, respectively. -Steve Schafer -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
