Making Revolution faster with really big arrays

Stephen,

The math I want to do is not regular --as in the simple example, but 
very algorithmic on a item by item basis.  The overhead of passing the 
data to and from MySQL will kill the speed unless it can do all the 
algorithms internally.  Previous attempts have shown this.
