[ODE] I´m totally unhappy with ODE ... Please Help me

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

Don't assume that function calls can be replaced using CSE. Only if you 
enable intrinsics will that be possible, because the compiler can't 
assume that you won't link with some library where sin() and cos() use 
static data, and return different results for different calls.

Cheers,
