[speex-dev] Performance increase?

[Chris Flerackers]

Hi,

I noticed that you changed all constant floating point numbers
from double notation (e.g. 3.0) to float notation (3.0f) in the latest
version
of Speex (in subversion).
Did that give any performance increase (because of elimination of the
float to double and double to float conversions)?

Best regards,
Chris
