A more intelligent, denser, faster, and more intuitive format would

a relative performance measure between the Falcon decimal type and

"server" type. The worst case (> 18 decimal digits of precision)
showed
Falcon 40% faster. For anything less than 18 decimal digits of
precision, Falcon was approximately infinitely faster (Falcon uses
a 64
bit int with a decimal scale factor).
There is no precise conversion from base 2/4/8/16 representation to
base
5/10 representation when you have digits after the (decimal, binary)
point.
That's why base 2 representation just can't be used.
Can you give an example of this?
Cheers,
Arjen.
