What is the theoretical complexiti of that algorithm?

With the new engine ktechlab uses one core 100% if the processor is on 800Mhz, and 60% on 1800Mhz. It would also be interesting, to make a release or just normal build, without debug information, and see how fast is that. What other people think about the patch? Is it fast enough to be included? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
