This is all pretty interesting to me. This is really the first time I've paid much attention to this kind of optimization. (I haven't really felt the need to do any actual tests yet.)
Why do you suppose that they take the same amount of time? Are the values calculated once and then just stored in L2 cache for quick retrieval?
