There's 2 ways, if you check the benchmarks, the

is the slow performance of the G4 on floating point.. I heard several times
that they have instant float->int conversion... and this is using apple's gcc
compiler.
Right, but a cast isnt the same thing as a conversion. A C cast has
explicit semantics.
