I've been doing some 3D landscape respresentations using Allegro on a
pentium 166, resolution 1024x768 with 256 colors. The fixed point
version is slower than in floating point version (basic 3D calculations
on gridcells). Is this because a pertium is faster in float ?  How or
when should fixed point be applied to make it faster? Thanks
