It seems to me that compression and encryption are completely integer (non-floating point) operations. The only real heavy users of floating point are structural analysis, CFD and graphics, SGI customers' areas. Itanium sounds like the r8000 which had strong floating point performance but dismal integer performance. The r8k really was a flop. Mike Hohmeyer ICEM CFD.
