I found "Software Manual for the Elementary Functions", by Cody and
Waite, ISBN 0-13-822064-6 quite helpful, though perhaps there's
something newer out.  As I recall, a fixed point 386 asm version with
an initial estimate only needed something like a hard coded three or
four iterations and was quite fast.
