My estimate was about 3 weeks of coding [ several hours a day ] ;)
So far I have put in a week of work only.

Instead of optimizing only the critical parts of the code I started to
replace nearly every float with an integer counterpart (except where it
doesn't make sense). I did about a third of the encoder so far and
verified this for accuracy. I did somewhat less work on the decoder.
