what is faster offsets or pointers?

[Lope De Vega <lope.vega@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

If having a memory block (a contigous region) so it
can also be treated as a vector, what would be faster?

  * accesing parts of such a region through
scale/base/index (offsets)

  * by using pointers.

My bet is that offsets perform better.

Regards,
