If speed were our primary concern, we should probably use a different algorithm:

Quote:Like Rabinowitz and Wagon’s algorithm, our proposals are not competitive with state-of-the-art arithmetic-geometric mean algorithms for computing \(\pi\).

What I like about the spigot algorithm is that one digit after the other appears instead of showing the entire result at the end.
