Chapter 5 has a lot of code with no obvious point #118

Everything from We can make this faster by preallocating the cache vector to before And let's get the mean of the trajectory for each of the parameters. hardly speeds anything up so one doesn't pick up the point of anything. I feel my time was wasted looking at all these codes.

Also all the parallel speed ups that follow are also unimpressive -- downright discouraging. Chapter 5 has a few good points

but otherwise the examples are just horrible sadly.
