It would be good if floats were on an equal footing to integers. Im in 
no position to push for it, because our (comercial) app is on a 
different Smalltalk (even if we are looking at Squeak as a possible 
alternative)

Im probably going to flamed for this, but in you are looking for 
benchmarks, there all always the dubious benchmarks in the great 
language shoot out site.
