On CPU platforms, there will be some overhead to pay. The reason is because each call to replaceLocalValue() will call get1dViewNonConst(); therefore, it is better to call get1dViewNonConst() up front and use a view of the out vector, as you are currently doing with the in vector.

Is that true for Epetra_Vectors as well? Is there any substantial
difference between the next two lines (with x being an Epetra_Vector)?

    x.ReplaceMyValue( k  , 0,  val );
    x[k] = val;
