Actually I initially wanted to do the integer solution, but I couldn't find
the instruction for integer streamed division. Probably, you know one?

We have one (and the only one) division in the composite over: it scales
the result by the new alpha value (srcBlend), so it looks like it cannot be
transformed to multiplication. This single division takes about 20% of
composing time.

Although, I guess, the integer solution should be a bit faster than the
floating point one.

+1 ;)
