Remember, if you are using a 040 or 060 there are also other options, such as CyberPatcher, Oxypatcher and on top of all of these combined, it is also worth looking on AmiNet for "MuTools".

To be honest, I have noticed very little to no difference with all of the different patches and libs, so I am not the best person to ask. But I am waiting for someone who is up on the subject to comment.

I saw benchmarks comparing Cyberpatcher, Oxypatcher and HSMathLibs, and CyberPatcher seemed to win the most, Oxy improved from default on a few tests, and HSMathLibs did NOTHING. The only time it did win was by huge margins, on the tests included with the libs themselves, which is why I don't trust them.

But as I said, I think we better wait for an expert to tell us the truth...

erm, you need to have a look at what HSMathlibs and the others actually do. It isn't that simple, and you DO need an FPU anyway.

Actually the first line is better. All it does is place itself in resident memory and restart the machine. It only needs to restart on the initial boot of turning the machine on. It saves either firstly booting the disk then doing whatever, or loading WB, then running it manually.
