It seems there isn't really a good all-round solution here. What shall
we do? I would be inclined to look toward the future and use doubles
for the sums and sqrtf() as this performs best on a modern CPU with
GCC 4.3, but what do you think? I suppose less powerful older cpus
would need better performance more, but obviously ideally we would
want to use whatever is best on the machine in question. Maybe a macro
and configure time testing/identification and mapping based on CPU?
