Luciano,

> Doubles need alignment in some plataform, but floats need it too?

Yes, on several platforms both need alignment. However, Squeak already
aligns all data to 4-byte boundaries which is ok for single precision
floats.

I haven't done a whole lot. Just a floatAt: and floatAt:put: primitive.
My idea was to use FloatArrays as repository for floats which are
converted in the two methods from and to doubles. So, floatAt: actually
returns a double precision float and floatAt:put: stores a double
precision float. Any more primitives should then operate on the raw single
precision data for obvious speed and bandwidth reasons.
