Can't say that I have... Thanks for the explanation though, it makes
sense. Also, if I do change my data to reals, how much of a
performance increase would I get if I used single instead of double
precision? I know that I can run my own benchmarks, however you might
have some more general conclusions. Is there a similar reasoning
behind using double as the default type?
