In the attach there is a small C++ program that performs few operators (* and
+) among SSE registers, that contains two versions of a function that computes
sin in a naive way (the program doesn't run, there's no main function, but it's
not hard to write a simple one). The first function is not manually optimized,
the second is a little more optimized.

If I compile both the code with llvm-g++ and -ffast-math those functions get
compiled to 66 and 43 instructions long. Without -ffast-math they become 85 and
43 instructions. So -ffast-math is doing something, but in theory when using
-ffast-math LLVM can compile the first function to something similar to the
second function. I can be wrong, I am not expert about this :-)
