without loss.

There is a little with this approach. The float algorithm are generally
more efficient that the exact rational ones.

You don't get feedback about precision loss. So you never know whether that efficient float computation was really faster.

Besides, I'm not sure that the float speedup will really matter for SymPy in general. Do numeric calculations even take up a significant fraction of SymPy's running times?
If no, we shouldn't care.
