-CONFIG_SOUNDMODEM_AFSK1200_FP
- This option enables floating point calculations to be used for the

- integer multiplications are, although easier to implement in silicon,
- an order of magnitude slower than floating point calculations.
- Enabling this option uses a highly optimized assembler routine for

- This reduces the computing power needed on Intel Pentium chips to
- about 50%. On the other hand, Pentium clones with faster integer
- multiply and slower floating point multiply will probably take
- longer with this option turned on. As a rule of thumb, enable it for
- Intel Pentium and Pentium Pro processors, and disable it for
- anything else.
