>Too many additions.

  I know that terminal output is slow, so I just wrote to memory
  and have one single terminal output at the end. However, for my
  benchmark I used ">/dev/nul" and found out that:

  - My program is much slower than the C programs shown here.

  - The most dramatic speed-up resulted from using C instead of C++.
    (So the "++" in "C++" actually constitute the "too many additions".)

  - The "strength reduction" avoiding "%" also slowed down my program
    a bit.

  - But even after I ported my program to C and improved it a bit, the 
    programs that just call "printf" multiple times are still faster.

  - measured using:

/usr/bin/time -f "%U" bash -c 'for i in {1..1000}; do ./a.out > /dev/null 2>&1; done'

    .
