I don't have an explanation for you problem, but it is extremely unlikely this is the cause. Computers don't take more time to do arithmetic based on the value of the numbers.
Sure they do. Just exceed the integer range of a typical CPU word-size and watch things take longer. Assuming of course you're using a sensible language that can handle arbitrary length integers. If not, it will take a really long time since you'll crash! And no, floating point is not a proper solution in many cases.
I was trying to keep it simple. While you are technically correct, your reply is also irrelevant. What makes you think that SketchUp uses any sort of variable-length numeric representations?
