comment Is there a way to continuously update only *some* variables in Manipulate?
In summary, I move a slider which changes the position of a Locator on a ListLinePlot. No problem there - that's fast. But the slider also sends a command to an external app. This is too slow to evaluate at every slider step, so I only want to send the command once the slider is released.

Oops, no it doesn't, no live update of the slider graphic itself. This one works: Slider[Dynamic[ x, {None, Automatic, Function[{v, e}, Print@slow[v], HoldRest]}]]

Thanks - yes, that's an accurate description of the problem. This also works: Slider[Dynamic[ x, {None, Function[{v, e}, Print@fast[v], HoldRest], Function[{v, e}, Print@slow[v], HoldRest]}]]

...ah...however...apologies, perhaps I didn't explain the problem. I have only one slider - but two things respond to the value of the slider - I want to make only one of those thing react in real-time, whilst the other waits for the slider to be released.

Thanks - another simple thing I didn't know!

comment Time approximation of decrypting RSA algorithm
Sorry, for some reason when I answered earlier the graph wasn't showing on my device ( iPad ). Now I can see it. Regardless, you have a huge problem trying to extrapolate so far out. As @wxffles asked, are you confident in the model? But even if the model is perfect, a visual inspection of the graph and data points suggests that the uncertainty in your extrapolation from these data points is bound to be absolutely enormous.

comment Time approximation of decrypting RSA algorithm
Did you post your data points correctly? As @ssch pointed out, the second one at least looks wrong, and the others show a rather odd pattern. I find it unsuprising that a fit to those values gives a result you weren't expecting. Are you getting these results from experimental factorizations? ( I guess that's what you're doing). If so, I think you need a lot more sample runs at each bit length.
