Has anybody bothered to check whether we're giving up anything by using
these libraries - like maybe mathematical accuracy?  How do they get the
speed increases without the lose of anything important?  Any problems with
the more mathematically intensive aspects of rendering, like Essence's
fractal noise? 

Just wondering...
