In the original Root Loops code, I assume it should be a pure comparison
of i (binary, such as +5.00...) with sQty (binary, +1234567.00...) so
that native math would be used and no text string involved during the
loop after it gets started.
But in the "big calculations" variation, the code has many
numbers-as-strings that get converted each time through the loop, and
that makes quite a difference on LC 9; hardly any on 6. That is
definitely worth looking into.
I like your "not to trust the easy answers" philosophy! Any improvements
under the hood will certainly get a lot of good use.
Best wishes,
Curry K.
