...are there any processors out there that have been optimized for trig operations?

it's a co-processor:

there's always the pre-computed lookup table approach, depending on
the accuracy needed and memory available.

If I'm interpreting the data*** correctly, it takes that part about
a tenth of a millisecond to compute sin(). That is decidedly too slow
for my purposes, especially considering the additional overhead of
talking to the bugger.
