If you look at the J7.01beta dictionary, Appendix B,
dictionary/special.htm, and release/cateachslash.htm
you'll see that ,.&.>/ has been improved, and:

   t2=: 3 : '6!:2 '',.&.>/t'' [ t=. <"1 (y,43)$''abc'''"0 
   t2 1e5*2^i.4
0.040837 0.0361222 0.0804401 0.139528

I have not tried it but ,.&:>/ is probably quadratic.
