Improve the performance of your PPC math-intensive software

Two new math libraries which are listed below can improve the performance of math intensive applications on all PowerMac models. Prior to MacOS 7.5.3 (Update 2.0), Apple provided all math subroutines in a sharable library called MathLib which is kept in the Extension Folder inside the System Folder. With MacOS 7.5.3 the math library is built into the operating system directly. MacTempasPPC and CrystalKitPPC ship with an improved version of the original MathLib provided by Apple. However, the two libraries listed below, one from Motorola, the other by Matt Granger are from 1.5 - 3 times faster than the Apple math library. For optimimum performance, download either of the libraries below and place either file in the extension folder.
