Precision of Pi
The number of miliseconds required to complete the function for computing the precision of Pi takes longer if the number of iterations is increased by 10 exponentially.
If GPU was used to compute the function then the number of miliseconds could be drastically reduced with high number of iterations.
Test runs with number of iterations:
