I've been looking at those suspiciously similar numbers (125kT for 100+, and the 12,500kT factor for the ln() formula), and it's hit me that the ln() is not needed.
The derivative of ln(x) is quite simply 1/x, and 12,500/100 equals exactly 125kT.
With this in mind, I've revised the formula and it now has no floating point math needed:

Now *that* is extremely interesting!  
It makes a lot of sense too, given the Jeffs' penchant for all-integer math.  
So many Stars, so few Missiles!
