3 minutes to generate 64 by 64 pixels blue noise? I think one should be able to instead draw white noise in frequency domain, multiply with a noise amplitude profile and then a 2D FFT...should only take some milliseconds..

That's right! I was so confused when I read the article, and being satisfied with getting just a 50% boost from using your home brew FFT, was somewhat disheartening.

That is truly like if you're happy that your implementation of quicksort is 50% faster than your insertion sort. It's just that bad of a result, that you really have to stop and wonder if perhaps you did it wrong.
