i searched the back mail, and from what i read, floats are faster then
ints, on a pentuim?....before i convert all my code to floating point,
i was wondering a few things:

Are floats still faster then ints on a pentuim pro?
Is comparing floats slower then comparing ints? i.e. if (a < b)
will type casting floats to ints slow my code down?..
and is triangle3d_f (allegro) faster then the fixed point version on a
pentuim (i'm assuming it is)?

i tried looking with the mail search engine, but i couldn't find any
straight answers............thankz...
