Keep in mind this article is almost 20 years old.
Memory access used to matter less because CPUs were a lot slower relative to memory. When I was a kid you could get a speedup by using lookup tables for trig functions - you'd never do that today, it's faster to recalculate.

Anything 2xxx just seems like almost yesterday, 199x isn't that far away in mind, and even 198x is pretty close. I love math (B.Sc. Physics, so more math than anything else) but sometimes math hurts. Damn you, beloved math.
