[racket-dev] expected timing difference between fft-complex-forward and fft-complex-radix2-forward?

On a vector of length 8192 (a power of 2, natch), fft-complex-radix2-forward takes about 1/8 of a second (lost in the noise, essentially), but fft-complex-forward takes more than 24 seconds, a difference of about 200x.  They do produce the same answers, up to differences of 1e-4 in the magnitude (didn't check the phase).

1) Is this expected? I thought the non-radix2 one was still fairly clever about subdividing when the number of points is divisible by 2.
2) If so, would it make sense to test for powers of 2?
