Adam, 


(%i4) f(x,y,n) :=
 block([i:0, c:x+y*%i,ER:4,iMax:n,z:0],
 while abs(z)<ER and i<iMax
    do (z:z*z + c,i:i+1),
 min(ER,abs(z)))$

(%i5) dx : 2.7/70 $

(%i6) dy : 2.4/70 $

(%i7) for i:-2 thru 0.7 step dx do
  for j:-1.2 thru 1.2 step dy do
    f(i,j,4) $

(%i8) time(%o7);
(%o8)                             [84.30927]

It takes about 84 sec to calculate all the points for only one frame.



If you load the following lisp function, things look certainly better:

(defun $g (x y n)
  (let ((er 4.0)
        (c (complex ($float x) ($float y)))
        (z (complex 0.0 0.0)))
    (dotimes (i n)
      (setf z (+ (* z z) c)))
    (min er (abs z)) ))




(%i13) for i:-2 thru 0.7 step dx do
  for j:-1.2 thru 1.2 step dy do
    g(i,j,4) $
(%i14) time(%o13);
(%o14)                             [0.46803]




Sometimes it's better to write your code directly in Lisp.
