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

{delimitnum} template. This template uses the same math-based

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:

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.
