Where I come from (Europe) 9,000,000 means 9.0 and 9.000.000 means what you mean. That is why there is an international standard of having 9 000 000. Basically these things should be tunable through simple rc options. As to the point that different rc options can produce different results on different machines, as far as I am aware, all options can be overridden in the script itself (correct me if I am wrong?).
