How does dumping the data in binary form compare to writing a

If the textual representation is being done by fprintf(), writing
the unconverted data in binary form is _much_ faster - and, of
course, may produce problems if there's a subsequent need to read
the data on a different machine.

A special-purpose double -> text conversion routine can provide a
fair amount of speed improvement. A real-world example was
developed in this CLC thread:

Your idea is to use your "convert" function and to fwrite the
converted buffer ?
If yes, can I cast an long long in double to directly use it ?

Thanks !
