Some C++ compilers have an option for performing floating point computations precisely vs. quickly (e.g. visual studio c++ compiler: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e7s85ffb(VS.80).aspx).  Is there a way to specify such an option in MATLAB to speedup general purpose floating point operations, such as Matrix Multiplication or element wise addition/multiplication etc.?
