Fastest square number test True, but this does not speed up the sq test per se it is just a faster way to apply the function across a list than Table is. Good idea though! |

Fastest square number test The overhead of messaging involved in MatheLink would kill it. Possibly Mathematica 8's ability to load a DLL would help if you used C. But consider if your application really warrants this compared to what I offered below. The speed up you may get is probably not worth the effort. |

Fastest square number test Ignore what I said about EvenQ! Need coffee! |

Fastest square number test Adding a test for EvenQ gives a slight speed up but not much. If the numbers are very large it probably helps more. Testing for ending in 0,1,4,6,9, or 25 is possible but I have not tried it and seem like overkill. |
