I'Have this graphic function that I Use to draw a DXF object
FOR j& = nRec&+1 TO (nRec&+TotRec&)

'----- Conversion mm to pixel ---------
 rXs = DW.Xstart!(j&) / ScaleComp!
 rYs = DW.Ystart!(j&) / ScaleComp!
 rXe = DW.Xend!(j&)   / ScaleComp!
 rYe = dW.Yend!(j&)   / ScaleComp!
'------ draw object -------------------
.....

NEXT j&

When I have a big object drawing is slow  because  division between two
floating point is very slow.

When I wrote the same function in C++ I've solved this problem using
fixed-point Instead of floating-point.
