Were those real world programs, or arithmetic benchmarks? Most real world programs I see spend so little of their time doing arithmetic that making the math an order of magnitude slower wouldn't make a noticeable difference in overall runtime. Which puts making numbers primitives by default squarely in the realm of premature optimization. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
