Yes, it is called time to market, the Floating Point in CCS C has been of
great assistance to myself in prototyping a PID controller to determine
that the device under consideration did in fact not work, in about 2 days
as opposed to weeks of tedious flowcharting and planning to write some
highly efficient very tight assembly code. (and I must say that I am
excellent at authoring efficient PICmicro code -- so yes, even I feel
routinely ripped off by using a C compiler, especially considering how
anything with floating point seems to grow exponentially in size).

But to answer the original question, sorry I don't know.
