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

Yes it has. The main thing is that it has accelerators for 6 and 7 as
factors - the old accelerators stopped at 5. 8192 doesn't have either of
those factors (since it is a power of 2). But, there may have been bug fixes
that I don't remember. I will zip up the latest code and send them to you
this afternoon.
