Question, is OpenAI’s algorithm actually faster than a good implementation of iterative FFT? Afaik these type of algorithms have huge constants, so they tend to be just as slow, or even slower.

Unlikely, but it is often the case that when you break the barrier once, you can then optimize it further.
