Now it shows following results. According to them atan is ten times
faster than modf which is clearly wrong.

atan(): ITERS:4.48268e+09: TOTAL:7.79352s, MAX:166.672ns, MIN:0.638ns,
5.7518e+08 iter/s
atan(768bits): ITERS:4.8324e+08: TOTAL:9.83724s, MAX:38.805ns, MIN:17.654ns,
4.91235e+07 iter/s
modf(): ITERS:6.8975e+08: TOTAL:9.53964s, MAX:193.448ns, MIN:4.486ns,
7.23035e+07 iter/s

A following benchmark takes  8.9s which is order of magnitude more than
what benchtest tells.

extern double modf (double, double *);
int main(){ int i;
  double x=0;
  double ret=0;
  double f;
  for(i=0;i<1000000000;i++){
     ret+=modf(x,&f);
    x+=0.1;
  }
  return ret;
}
