Re: Regarding The Library And Variable Usage.
I get it, after reading the PPC Instruction Set Reference Manual, the PPC's Floating Point Registers are 64 bit registers. In other words, if I were to use single precision floating points, then the processor has to shove that to one 32 bit side of the register and fill the rest with 0's. I get it, that takes more effort than just shoving a double in there. The single precisions are always converted to doubles anyway.

Reading the technical manuals really do help...

So there was a method to their madness...
