Would this be fixed in anyway if on your part or on MASON part the "double" used 
for time was replaced with BigDecimal?

I am running in the same issue and it's not as easily fixable as just "switching to 
int". I have a population evolving and eventually getting faster and faster and 
sooner or later they hit a point where floating-point arithmetic errors matter more 
than their actual relative speed.

I guess the overhead of having bigDecimal is too high for MASON, but it would be 
nice as an option because now I'd really need precision.
