Well, the integer solution might be quite good idea for some of the
composite ops. When I investigated into the topic, I thought about it, but
I faced with two problems I had no idea how to solve it:

1) The sse instruction set does not have integer division instruction. So
it will have to be workarounded somehow.
2) Integer multiplication instructions change the size of the operands. I
didn't know how to solve it properly.

I guess, both of these these problems are solvable, but right now I don't
know how to deal with them.
