In current versions of R the apply functions do not gain much (if any) in
speed over a well written for loop (the for loops are much more efficient
than they used to be).
Using global variables could actually slow things down a little for what
you are doing, if you use `-` then it has to search

so,
1. is there a way for a function to modify a global variable?
Use - instead of -.
2. how would you vectorize this loop?
This is hard. Your function has a feedback loop: an iteration depends
on the previous iteration's result. A
You can use environments. Have a look at this this discussion.
