Keep in mind that RAM access is slow compared to how fast CPUs
run. It can be beneficial to have "slower" data types if they
allow more data to fit into the CPU cache.
Abosolutely fantastic point, Marco!
Except if everything still fits in cache as "fast" types, it'd be
worth having faster types.
How do you folks decide if a number should be an int, long, or
even short?
I guess the exact type of variables should remain up in the air
until the whole thing is implemented and tested using different
types?
Wow, this is an active forum, I must say. Much thanks!
