Sounds interesting.  Could "diagonal storages" be applied twice?  That is
could we apply
diagonal transformation to the result of another diagonal transformation?
I expect we
should get a "square diagonal" transformation...

Great, but with square diagonal transformation we should get 3.14^2 times
improvement,
which is even better!
