acos vs atan

Script Preparation code:

var N = 1000000;
var x = new Float32Array(N);
var y = new Float32Array(N);

for (var i = 0; i < N; ++i ) {
	x[i] = 100* Math.random();
	y[i] = 100* Math.random();
}

Tests:

acos
for (var i = 0; i < N; ++i) { Math.acos(x[i] / Math.sqrt(x[i]*x[i] + y[i]*y[i])); }
atan
for (var i = 0; i < N; ++i) { Math.atan(x[i], y[i]); }
