I have set up an array in the following manner (obviously I just need
0 or 1) :

typedef struct my_bits {
	unsigned the_bit : 1;
};

my_bits the_array[800][800];

	My question is this : I have read that some operations ( =,+,- are
what I use) are slower when performed on bits as opposed to other
types.  My objective is to optimize the code for speed, and I figured
using less memory would help me do so, now I'm having doubts.  So what
is more efficient, bits or some other type???

				Thanks in advance for your help.
