32 bit ints or floats? Integer is easy... easier than doing a 24 bit
integer. Float... takes a little more CPU....

I'm pretty sure it's floats. Reaper uses 64bit floats internally.
I'm not sure about the CPU part. Probably a bit more work, but
processors have dedicated facilities for handling floats. I don't
imagine that it's a difference worth consideration given the
application.
I remember programming a space game on a 386 machine. I later bought a
math co-processor chip for that board and the game ran like lightning in
comparison.
Really maths-intensive stuff these days uses the graphics processor.
That is where all the real speed of a PC lies..
