Well, it's still cheating, though. :-P I think the 4-cycle algorithm is
probably still the best one I've seen.

What I don't understand is why the CPU is so slow that it takes ages
to go through int.min .. int.max in a loop.


I mean this takes 31 seconds on my machine (obviously without
optimization flags):

-----
int f(int n) { return n; }

void main()
{
    foreach (n; int.min..int.max)
        f(f(n));
}

Maybe I need an upgrade.

Nope. 4 billion loops is a lot. That's just a fact of life. I have quad-core i7 at 2.2Ghz, and it takes a while.

You *could* use parallel foreach :)

Note that in that code, you need to test f(f(int.max)) specifically.
