a) your patch is buggy. it does not take care of execution-order and 
thus produces the wrong results (independent of any float2symbol 
conversion); try using [trigger] as much as possible


b) i was really amazed, that [makefilename] can only handle integers. a 
quick look at the source-code verified this...too bad

c) the really "heavy" thing is the multiple conversion to symbols (pd is 
not *really* strong in symbol handling)

d) if you don't care about quantization (obviously you don't as your 
patch has shown), what about this

|
[* 1000]
|
[int]
|
[/ 1000]
|
|
[/ 100]
|
[makesymbol %se+02]
|

(the first three object are only for quantization)
