Sure, 64K is far to much data. I only meant LOG-tables with 256 (i.E.) ~11-bit (make it 16 for easier handling) values, so the results of add and sub would become more accurate, and then put the results into a larger EXP-table with (i.E.) 1024 8-bit values. 

That way, the maths should become quite accurate.

Have fun!
