+From the results above we conclude that the third expression  (e^(3y))
+consumes the largest amount of time. The variable 'e', as used in both
+the  benchmark  and  in the  expression,  is  an approximation  of the
+transcendental mathematical constant e (2.71828182845904...) hence the
+sub-expression  should perhaps be  modified  to use the generally more
+efficient built-in 'exp' function.

+The above output demonstrates the  results from  making the previously

+of the expression using the 'exp' function reduces the evaluation time
+by over 50%, in other words increases the evaluation rate by two fold.
