strtof/strtod is usually slow as hell anyway, using it in a performance
critical path is a bug anyway, so I really think this is a non-issue -
if you don't need things like inf and nan to be supported you can easily
write a function that is at least 3 - 8 times faster (I know, I had to do that
once).
