Why do trigonometric functions in MATLAB require different computation times when provided the same-sized input?

I see that the third and fifth cases take significantly longer, approximately 6 times longer, than the other cases even though they have the same size input.
varA = rand(1,78);
c = -256:255;
w = -256:255;
x = -256:255;
y = -256:255;
z = -256:255;
z = z/(1000*rand(1));
for ii = 1:50
%Case 1
% Control case
twopicA = 2 * pi * c' * varA;
ccos = cos(twopicA); % Time 1
csin = sin(twopicA); % Time 2
%Case 2
% Incrementing + case
w = w + 1;
twopiwA = 2 * pi * w' * varA;
wcos = cos(twopiwA); % Time 1
wsin = sin(twopiwA); % Time 2
%Case 3
% Incrementing + (varying integer) case
x = x + 10000*ii;
twopixA = 2 * pi * x' * varA;
xcos = cos(twopixA); % Time 1
xsin = sin(twopixA); % Time 2
%Case 4
% Incrementing + (non-integer) case
y = y + rand(1);
twopiyA = 2 * pi * y' * varA;
ycos = cos(twopiyA); % Time 1
ysin = sin(twopiyA); % Time 2
%Case 5
% Incrementing + (varying-non-integer) case
z = z + 10000*ii*rand(1);
twopizA = 2 * pi * z' * varA;
zcos = cos(twopizA); % Time 1
zsin = sin(twopizA); % Time 2
end

This is the expected behavior. MATLAB uses the fdlibm library for trigonometric function computation. The trigonometric functions in the fdlibm library perform range checking, handle edge cases and reduce inputs. As a result, the computational cost can vary for the same function with the same size input array.
For example, in certain cases when given inputs with a range from 0 to 10*pi these library functions will need to initially scale the inputs back to the range 0 to 2*pi.
