Is integer addition faster or slower than floating-point addition? How 
about multiplication? How do trigonometric functions compare? Is single 
precision any faster than double precision? Are 8-bit integers faster 
than 16-bit integers?

Does anybody know of a resource where I can get an idea of the relative 
difference in speed between the various arithmetic operations on 
different data types on "typical" current-generation CPUs?
