> Copied From my Email:
>   Float.floatToRawIntBits (in Java1.4) gives the raw float bits without
> normalization (like *(int*)&floatvar would in C).  Since it doesn't do
> normalization of NaN values, it's faster (and hopefully optimized to a
> simple inline machine instruction by the JVM).
> On my Pentium4, using floatToRawIntBits is over 5 times as fast as
> floatToIntBits.
> That can really add up in something like Similarity.floatToByte() for
> encoding norms, especially if used as a way to compress an array of
> float during query time as suggested by Doug.
