What are the advantages/disadvantages of using the Math libraries for
mathematical calculations rather than the similar C functions? Or does
Lattice C (say) call the math library routines?

What are the speed increases: with a math coprocessor? on a stock 7 Mhz
68000? I don't need a detailed response, just an order of magnitude (2X,
10X, 100X, etc.) estimate.

Thanks, 
Richard
