If you want a cosine, try the McLaurin polynomial. (This really
is a special case of the Taylor polynomial) I'm sure you're
familiar with it, and cleverly coded (i.e. begin at the term
to the highest power and go towards ... + 1, and all of it
done "inline" i.e. no loop) it should be quite fast.

Happy Hacking !
