 Xiss,

My point wasn't really about float vs double, but rather matrix<float> vs
compressed_matrix<float> (or the other types you've tried).
The ublas matrix<float>, with proper inlining, should have next to 0 impact
(all it does is calculate an offset into the storage).
So if you're seeing bad performance even with matrix<float>, then it's
definitely not a problem with matrix element access.
