At a glance, I don't see any glaring speed-related flaws.  Honestly,
I'm curious to see what the R version of the Compute looks like.
Others might advise on the use of iterators...

This brings up a question that I've been meaning to ask the list --
Last time I checked, with NumericVectors using myvec[i] was
significantly faster than myvec(i) (due to bound and NA checking?).
Now that I think of it, I seem to remember discussion of disabling
these checks with NumericMatrix et al.  Of course, no checking is just
another way to shoot my own foot -- I'm a big fan of myvec(i) in
day-to-day use :)
