Can you provide a VI somewhere where you show what you are doing? Your explanation is a little difficult to imagine (not your fault as such things are hard to describe at any rate) but I'm sure there are possibilities to actually do that perfectly fast in LabVIEW only, possibly beating even the formula node. The problem is not that LabVIEW is so bad, but rather that it takes so much work from you in such situations that you don't worry about optimal algorithmes in the first place and when you do, it is sometimes hard to see the optimal solution.
