If you're using generics for typing classes, they're harmless. Just
covers for casting.
If you're using generics for doing auto-boxing and unboxing of numeric
types, they're really *really* inefficient. It's not like C++ in this
respect.
Since we were talking about floats and doubles, I presumed the second
situatio.
