I notice that FFTW uses the standard, composition-along-dimensions
technique for multi-dimensional FFTS.  The "dimensionless FFT" approach
I referred to have been compared with FFTW, with reported speed-ups in
the 2-5 range (as with all benchmarks, Your Mileage May Vary :-).  I
suspect that FFTW is an excellent choice for Corey's application.
However, there are competitors.  Those interested might check out
