Indeed. When Wikiipedia’s servers are cooking along, the first-time load on the sandbox is entirely tolerable. Once you’ve got it cached after that very first time, then it’s much better yet. Once you get there, you will find many, many number-sequence strategies. Some of you mathematically brighter types might even see a pattern to all those errors.

I have a sandbox with hundreds of test numbers to exercise the {delimitnum} template. This template uses the same math-based functions as {val}. For anyone who has produced improved math functions, you can examine values on this sandbox that currently produce rounding errors and test your new math functions. The sandbox is at the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Greg_L/Delimitnum_sandbox
At the very bottom of the page (which loads slowly), is a concise list of values that all have errors.
The page is so slow that even attempting to view it times out for me.
It is large and slow (loaded for me after about 20 seconds), but we've also had some recent sporadic reports of routine things like watchlists being sluggish or failing to load. So, in addition to his page being huge, there may be other factors at work as well at the moment.
