Are doubles faster than floats in C#?

Question

I\'m writing an application which reads large arrays of floats and performs some simple operations with them. I\'m using floats, because I thought it\'d be faster than doubl

Answer 1

I'm writing a ray tracer, and replacing the floats with doubles for my Color class gives me a 5% speedup. Replacing the Vectors floats with doubles is another 5% faster! Pretty cool :)

That's with a Core i7 920
