Default Strange Calculation Error in Excel

Hi Joe,

I would imagine it slows computation tremendously. Do you have any performance comparisons? <


I haven't benchmarked it against rounding in Excel, but obviously it's
slower than Excel. xlPrecision's main purpose is high precision (i.e.,
more than 15 significant digits), and one reasonably expects to
sacrifice performance for that. Avoiding binary conversion errors is a
happy side effect.

I heard praise, and no complaints, for version 1.0's performance (for
high precision), and 2.0 is faster. And the next version will be faster
still.


Thanks,

Greg Lovern
