Is it possible to improve the speed of Mathematica for number crunching by compiling routines using lists of real numbers? It works fine for variables representing single numbers, but doesn't like a list of reals. Any advice? Also, I have a question about disk read time. Reading lists of numbers from an ascii file is painfully slow by any standatd (on a Powerbook 170). Is there anything that can be done about this? Thanks
