Jan 21, 2012 at 20:17 comment added acl @ruebenko that is a good point (in this case, though, they give the same answer, so I'll leave this the way it is--but your point about running them in parallel stands)
Jan 21, 2012 at 17:49 comment added user21 Perhaps, you'd like to use AbsoluteTiming for these tests, especially if stuff is running in parallel. See the "How can I improve the speed of eigenvalue decompositions for large matrices?" thread.
Jan 21, 2012 at 16:34 comment added acl @Sal That's true, but I can't get the test faster. Looking at CompilePrint[isSq], it's hard to see anything more costly thatn Sqrt.
Jan 21, 2012 at 16:25 comment added Sal Mangano 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!
