Nobody as in "Niemand hat die Absicht eine Mauer zu bauen"?
Or just nobody EXCEPT ME bothered to take a look at the code of your
nextafter() and noticed its performance deficit (at least on AMD64
and i386)?

JFTR: your implementation is NON-COMPLIANT!
      I recommend to read the ISO C standard and follow it by the word.
