Ooops, I must have been using a old k - I now get > system.time(convolve_2d(x, k)) user system elapsed 2.265 0.006 2.298 I'm on a 2nd gen macbook air, so the processor isn't the fastest (2.13 GHz). Maybe my intuition is wrong but it seems like you should be able to do it faster than that. But let me think - I'm doing 1000 * 1000 * 20 * 20 = 4e08 multiplies + adds in ~2s. So that's 5e-9 s = 5 ns per operation. Looking at it that way it does seem pretty fast already.
