Okay+++: With single precision, lua finally beats Pd and is about a fifth faster. I'm relieved, however that brings up the questions, if I should use lua with single precision in Pd? What would I loose (besides precision)?
For color data floating point is already overkill.
One of PdConvention2007's papers talked about the use of floating-point with image data. It was the paper on FFT. For that case, it's not overkill, unless you consider a more complicated integer-based solution as not being overkill, which is something I'd dispute.
