I don't think GCC is a problem: isnan is a builtin function there, so
even a function call overhead is spared.

Oh, that's good. I didn't know how it was implemented.

I mean that GCC should be able to convert ((x > 0) || isnan(x)) to !(x <= 0) if the second _expression_ is actually faster. It seems like a fairly simple rewrite.
