My comment is mostly because the result are totally 
un-intuitives. It looks like **the function** you should use to 
un-stress a gui engine with realigning but...

unittest
{
     assert(approxEqual(1600.0f, 1600.1f)); // true
     assert(approxEqual(1.0f, 1.1f)); // false
}

is a source of hair-scratching, so in fine you don't use it.
