    What about performance when using Longs? is it as fast as using standard numbers?
    I wanted to disable Integer Overflow exceptions last week, and finally started using Longs,
with something like (A + B) & 0xffffffff
    i.e. I had to force the integer overflow condition using Longs (I was implementing a
blowfish cipher for a ssh client) and I think it does have a hit on performance.

    Performer Bye!
