Chandler, if you strongly prefer the use of ScaledNumber to APInt, I have a patch ready and will happily upload that. Even after this change, the multiply and divide operations allocate memory. Multiply seems similar in complexity (since we always multiply two 64 bit words). I don't know how Knuth's algorithm used in APInt compare with ScaledNumber's long division in the case when the dividend is more than 64 bits.  The tradeoff here is the precision loss with ScaledNumber - whose effects in practice is unknown. I personally prefer to keep the APInt, but as I said above ready to switch to ScaledNumber to get this patch in.
