The problem is performance when working with an entire object rather than a primitive type.
Your homegrown object wouldn't have any special meaning in the JVM and wouldn't be able to be optimized as a 128-bit integer.
Parent probably means writing the muldiv function, which would return a "basic" 64bit int.
