If we would make use of it by distinguishing between integers/floats for ALL 
operations, it would. AFAICS, only the addition makes this distinction atm. 
Wether this speed improvement is worth the distinction is another story. And 
most operations have to be executed with floats either, which shows that the 
wider range for integers is only academical.
