Instead of worrying about all these details, start by simplifying your
code. Focus on clean, simple, readable code, and don't microoptimize.
Specifically, focus on the core arithmetic that you're trying to do,
and get rid of all the bookkeeping overhead; most of that is a waste
of time. I mentioned earlier the repeated boxing and unboxing in
"Compound" objects - have you changed anything with those?
