It isn't, actually. I put lock/unlock screen commands around your code
before timing it, so most of the field update went by unnoticed. But
enough of it still added up to make your algorithm come in at about 55
milliseconds and Brian's at about 35. If you pull the field update out
of yours completely and then just return the value it's actually about
the same total time.
