  Distance affects render speed?

Hi, just a small question:

Why does light from a big distance slow down rendering? My guess: it's got
to do with the nature of floats. Is there anything I should know to keep an
optimal speed? Avoid big scale of numbers?

Someone posted a source with this light:
light_source { <1e4,3e4,1e4> rgb 1

I don't know what that location means, but changing it made me aware of this
thing.

Regards,
Hugo
