Unfortunately, this doesn't help a lot... Execution speed with -02 is
45.969000 ms and with -mfp-mode=int is 45.951000 ms. I checked generated
assembly code it seems that CONFIG register isn't re-programmed before
every integer operation.

Actually these two made it even slower,  50.725000 ms with -O3 and
50.688000 ms with -Ofast

These also didn't help - 46.504000 ms with -falign-loops=8 and 46.542000 ms
with -falign-functions=8

I attached output for every used command line option with code sizes.
