Notes

One bottleneck in achieving reasonable amounts of speedup is memory transfer. If you wish to optimize your code and achieve speed-ups, try to reduce the amount of casts to CPU types especially on large variables, as each such operation can incur a costly memory transfer operation which would slow down your code.
