Nope. Most users get speed by using vectorized calculations. If you have already
identified how to get correct answers, the next step is something like Rcpp or
linking to a shared library written in your language of choice.
But seriously, vectorizing is enough for most applications, and making sure the
answer is right doesn't usually require compiled code.
