The “JVG algorithm” only wins on tiny numbers

🚀 The JVG algorithm has limited practical value, as it only outperforms other methods when dealing with extremely small numbers, rendering it less useful for most real-world applications. This narrow focus restricts its ability to scale and provide significant benefits in complex problem-solving scenarios, thus limiting its overall impact.
