Slow LC 9 Performance - Test Stack, Video, QA Report

In the original Root Loops code, I assume it should be a pure comparison 
of i (binary, such as +5.00...) with sQty (binary, +1234567.00...) so 
that native math would be used and no text string involved during the 
loop after it gets started.

But in the "big calculations" variation, the code has many 
numbers-as-strings that get converted each time through the loop, and 
that makes quite a difference on LC 9; hardly any on 6. That is 
definitely worth looking into.

I like your "not to trust the easy answers" philosophy! Any improvements 
under the hood will certainly get a lot of good use.

Best wishes,
