h is the step-size, and n+1 is the number of points. In computing the
"wts" vector for equal step-sizes, those are all that count. X~Join~y
is the same as Join[x,y], and h&/Range[n-1] is a vector of n-1 h values.
I was working from Allan's starting point, so the "data" matrix is a set
of {x,y} pairs, but that needn't be where you start. Just Dot "wts"
with the argument of ListIntegrate in your problem. As I mentioned
before, you can precompute wts*xsec and then Dot that with Phi[n], to
eliminate multiplying two 400-long vectors at each computation of G,
along with eliminating ListIntegrate.
I just sent another post that shows how to replace Integrate &
Interpolation with Dot at any order of interpolation. Hence, if you
want seventh- or twentieth-order interpolation, you can get that at
almost no extra cost.
My machine is a Gateway 700XL Pentium 4, 2.2GHz with 1024 MB RDRAM. I
bought too soon at that (February); the new 700XL has a 2.53GHz chip for
the same price. That just makes me mad!

Bobby,
Thanks for the reply. I actualy cant follow the notation for the
construction using Dot. I take it "h" is the step size and "n" is the
number of points?
What kind of machine are you running on? You're execution times are
about a
factor of 7 faster than mine!
Best,
Matt
