Virtually every system in the world is designed around the idea that CPUs do integer math faster (much faster) than floating point. Despite the increases in chip speed, a calculate-in-integer-set-decimal-on-display approach is still advantageous. Beyond that, F-Correlatives and I-Descriptors work better with integers, so ad-hoc reporting is easier.
