      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      I believe that the method estimateDecExp and other pieces of this code can be simplified to run faster.

      JUSTIFICATION :
      Improve performance.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      Better performance.
      ACTUAL -
      Could be faster.

      ---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
      If you could provide me with the up-to-date source code of FloatingDecimal and related classes (I have downloaded the Java 8 source code), plus your test cases, I would like to have a go at it. In 1963 I had implemented a similar method at the Weitzmann Institute and I would like to give it a try.
      ---------- END SOURCE ----------
