most of the time the FPU is in fact slower than the fixed point math done via CPU.
Apples vs. oranges. How fast is the cpu when being asked to do floats in 64-bit precision? Also, when the cpu is busy doing one thing the fpu can be doing another...
@NovaCoder, The
Distant Suns demo has a "generic 1.3" version for any cpu and also an "OS2.0" version that *requires* an fpu. If yours doesn't work then that program should fall over. ;-)
