For my project the problem was specifically precision. I needed each 
pixel to have different coordinates even on really high zoom levels into 
the fractal. One nice thing about double-double was that if I centered 
the image directly on a number that is representable as a double, the 
maximum possible zoom level was increased massively. :)
