Here are some benchmark scores for all three profiles:  

	            MIPS			                           ARM					
	  FLOAT	FIXED       GAIN [%]	      FLOAT	      FIXED	      GAIN [%]	
LC	  12.42	11.10	10.57	      56.31	      22.12	       60.71
HE	  40.47	37.93	  6.26	    177.12	      45.98	       74.04
HEv2	  77.44	71.52	  7.64	    246.20	      75.68	       69.26

Measured on 

MIPS Malta board (MIPS 74Kf)
mips-linux-gnu-gcc (Sourcery G++ Lite 4.4-303) 4.4.1

and 

ARM BeagleBoard-xM
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2011.09-70) 4.6.1

Fixed point implementation is faster than floating point on MIPS and ARM.

Best regards,
Zeljko

Do you have some benchmark scores that show what speed effect these
have for MIPS ?

(also if these are faster on more than just MIPS then this could
 raise interrest in people and also bring forth more people who might
 want to improve the code further)
so benchmarks on other arhcitectures are welcome too, if anyone wants
to do such benchmarks

Awnsering whenever a program halts or runs forever is
On a turing machine, in general impossible (turings halting problem).
On any real computer, always possible as a real computer has a finite number
of states N, and will either halt in less than N cycles or never halt.
