    Description

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      I find the following slow path in BigDecimal:

              // Somewhat inefficient, but guaranteed to work.
              return Double.parseDouble(this.toString())

      Since JDK-7131192 : BigInteger.doubleValue() is depressingly slow
      is now available, something faster could be done.

      It suggest doing unscaledValue().doubleValue() * Math.exp(scale()*Math.log(10))
