Multiply by 9, then divide by 128?  (close..)

It's not really apparent what you're trying to optimize.
I had a problem once where I was trying to do bearing calculations,
and I did NOT want to do 16 bit math, and I was able to do it in 8
bit, forsaking degrees for "dilberts" where there are 256 dilberts of
angle in a circle
