Nope. Most users get speed by using vectorized calculations. If you have already identified how to get correct answers, the next step is something like Rcpp or linking to a shared library written in your language of choice.
But seriously, vectorizing is enough for most applications, and making sure the answer is right doesn't usually require compiled code. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
