Description

Should we move things like the total number of counts to u128? That may have a detrimental affect on performance, especially on lesser hardware; I haven't benchmarked it yet to see.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the count representation and benchmarking current behavior against a u128 variant, especially on lesser hardware. Done would require a decided scope and evidence that the wider type is worth its performance cost.
