"Floating Point is usually emulated on ARM systems.

    Slow.
        50-300× slower than equivalent integer ops.
        Depending on library, environment."


"Unaligned values have to be pulled from memory a byte at
a time and reformed."


Seriously? Was this guide really written in 2012? Looks like
the guys are at least 4-5 years behind and have not seen any
of the modern (ARMv6 and newer) processors :)
