Re: [Bug-gsl] Bug-gsl Digest, Vol 99, Issue 6

I did some timing tests, and it looks like Moler & Morrision is about
twice as slow as gsl_hypot(), up to the same accuracy (1e-15).

suggests this is due to M&M being cubically convergent, while
gsl_hypot() is quadratically convergent. So ... never mind!
