Did I imply it's slow? I just listed approximate hardware so that the times can be placed in some sort of context. that said, note that on a mobile device with 128 MB of RAM the RAM is a lot more likely to be a problem than the CPU in some ways. Running out of memory is strictly worse than being a little bit slower. So a lookup table may be more of a loss than a win, depending. -Boris
