Gilles Sadowski commented on MATH-1538:
---------------------------------------

> I don't think different use-case can affect this.

The rationale for my remark is that although this little loop may be 7% faster, 
the overall impact (in realistic calls to the method) might well be negligible. 
And then IMHO, readability of the code is an important criterion too: Your way 
of filling the array is not obvious (to me), and one could wonder about the 
necessity to modify the code.
 I would not object however on using a (self-documenting) method (to be defined 
e.g. in utility class {{MathArrays}}):
{code:java}
/**
 * Fill array with alternate values.
 *
 * @param arr Array to fill.
 * @param x Value to copy to even slots.
 * @param y Value to copy to odd slots.
 */
public void fill(double[] arr, double x, double y) {
    // ...
}
{code}

> refine some codes dealing with filling an array with its first and second 
> elements.
