The `new algorithm' was just (as far as I know) another implementation
of the FFT. The original SETI client had (has?) rather slow FFTs,
however Prime95 uses the fastest FFTs ever made for the i386 (for _any_
CPU?). So it is highly unlikely that the Ooura algorithms would help us
any.

Mersenne: New FFT algorithm.

[Nacho]

Hello.

Please excuse my english.

I am in "Seti At Home" proyect at the same time that in GIMPS.

And there is a new version of "Seti at home" that improves the FFT performance
by 60%, using new algorithms.

Maybe the new algorithm were useful for GIMPS? 

The code is from Ooura at University of Tokyo.
