Simulator steps as long

[max]

I think for bigger simulations which need more time to run it would be useful to change the simulator steps from int to long. Also the timer uses long as parameter already

I agree with you Max. But long type employs more main memory even when an int type is ok. As I said other times, I think we should do some simulations comparing long and int steps. If for such simulations there is no notably performance difference, simply let's go!
