Certainly--I was not comparing 1000000 against 10000. Referring to the
OP's statement: "However, while the python code gave the result almost
instantly, the C++ code took several seconds to run!" 30ms sounds like
a definite improvement over several seconds!

I'll try to tweak it later at home and report here. I'll try out the
1000000 too.
