Just playing with numbers, i tried and cut cost of LargeInteger
printString from n to (n log: 2) with a divide and conquer like method,
reverting to SmallInteger fast arithmetic asap.
Experiment is at

http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6512Of course, LargeInteger are not as frequent as Small ones, so added
value is limited. But the challenge was fun.
If you want to test or further improve, welcome.
