Laurent: The ti89 is slow, its basic language is not well suited for doing
numerical programming (ironic, huh?)

Unfortunatly, there's not much you can do except *shudder* use assembly,
but that's a waste of time.

The 89/92 are great for doing symbolic stuff.. but if you want to do a
fft, it's best to consider using something like a computer or an HP
calculator.  There is a nice package for the 92 in basic which does
symbolic FT, but I don't know if you can use that here.

The other option is that some people may have actually figured out good
hacks to optimize the speed of such loops.. Maybe they can impart some
wisdom.

I don't think you're going to get much of a speed improvement on a for
loop though.. oh-well.
