Hi David,

I've managed to run the program with modular symbols and get the same 
results faster. I think now the only problematic step is the decomposition. 
As this involves manipulating large matrices, it is both slow and 
memory-consuming. Do you know of any way to improve speed and/or memory 
efficiency in this step?

Thanks,
Sam
