I first prototyped this change in Sept 2011, and I discarded it because it made no difference in the obvious benchmark loop. It still makes no difference in the obvious benchmark loop, but in a less obvious one, doing some extra computation around the calls to Sqrt, not making the call does have a significant effect. benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta BenchmarkSqrt 4.56 4.57 +0.22% BenchmarkSqrtIndirect 4.56 4.56 +0.00% BenchmarkSqrtGo 69.4 69.4 +0.00% BenchmarkSqrtPrime 4417 3647 -17.43% This is a warmup for using hardware expansions for some calls to 1-line assembly routines in the runtime (for example getg).
