title: OpenCV : What is the real performance difference between continuous and non-continuous matrices?
body: <p>At the moment I'm trying to understand some of the differences between continuous and non-continuous matrices in openCV. It was suggested to me that continuous matrices provide better performance because the program doesn't have to jump back to the begining of the next row at the end of each column. </p>
  
  <p>In a word what is the comparable performance difference between continuous and non-continuous matrices?</p>
