POV has a bad habit of switching between floats and doubles all over the place.
Just run it through a compiler that warns about loss of precision and you'll
see that. But I think that a sacrifice of a (small) amount of quality might be
worth the speedup if it could be done. Personally, I only have a K6 and not a
K6-2, so it's not worth the trouble to me.
