It makes no sense whatsoever to do this at each function call; we
already have a table for this.
Yields a 2x improvement in find_min_book (x86-64, Haswell+GCC):
ffmpeg -i sin.flac -acodec aac -y sin.aac

and more importantly a non-negligible speedup (~ 8%) to overall AAC encoding:
old:
ffmpeg -i sin.flac -acodec aac -strict -2 -y sin_new.aac 6.82s user 0.03s system 104% cpu 6.565 total
new:
ffmpeg -i sin.flac -acodec aac -strict -2 -y sin_old.aac 6.24s user 0.03s system 104% cpu 5.993 total
This also improves accuracy of the expression by ~ 2 ulp in some cases.
