Go to Post The "line" is the point at which we've raised the floor so high that the advanced teams are hitting the ceiling. The ceiling is pretty darned high (and the GDC keeps raising it), so I don't think we're in danger of that any time soon. - EricVanWyk [more]

Re: How slow is floating point math really?

I didn't think it was speed so much as general processor weirdness with memory. I'd multiply and remove the decimal. What exactly is preventing you from doing so? Time to execute? In that case, using floating point won't speed things up at all.
