Granted, you can end up with a lot of numbers to the right of the decimal point, and the result gets ahrd to understand - worse: is counter-intuitive.

When we get to zero, we've reached the end of processor speed improvements - unless someone develops a processor that provides results before the program runs! Is these a target G.A. date for that yet? Hmmm that be a REAL System z, zero down time, zero processing time!
