What exactly is your need? Contact me off-list and maybe I can
help. Have you profiled your code? I have found that people
often do not actually know where their code is spending its
time. I once sped up an app which was universally acknowledged
to be slow "because it uses floating point." I sped it up 3x.

I modified the parsing routines it used, not the floating point.
