What algorithm did you use ?
Or did you make up your own ?
If so, chances are it can get pretty speed with Euphoria. Most algorithm use
some sort of 'I already have this written down somewhere' and need to 'find'
it. A finding procces can usually be sped up a lot using hash-tables,
esspecially in Euphoria you can do *that* pretty fast.
