Okay, I got your dot_two() working (the another_dot_two() has one last
fatal error that I can't figure out yet).

I tested it in all fairness. That is, I modified the printf hack from 

printf ("%d.%03d", x / 1000, x % 1000), to 
printf ("%d.%02d", x / 100, x % 100)

So that the functionality is the same as dot_two().

Doing this, printf doesn't take 13ms anymore, but 10ms.

And your dot_two() takes... 6ms ! That's a whole 40% faster, not bad
indeed !!! :o)
