Mathematica is at its slowest when you use procedural programming: For, Do, While, Table etc. It is at its fastest when you use functional proogramming: Map, Thread, Through, Apply, Inner etc. If you can rewrite your algorithm to use these kinds of functions you will probably speed up by a factor of 10 or so. After that you can also use the compile function.
