[Speex-dev] SPEEX in a DSPIC - optimisation of iir_mem16() for speed - can it be 16 bit ?

[Jean-Marc Valin]

iir_mem16() and filter_mem16() is already at the limit of what can be
tolerated in terms of precision, so there's no way to do what you're
suggesting without completely corrupting the signal (and probably making
everything unstable). That being said, I'm sure the 16x16=32
multiplications I'm using should be fast. Just make sure the compiler
isn't generating 32x32 multiplies.
