Wow, FFT faster than O(nlog(n))? I wonder if that will open the floodgates for further improvement or not. I don't understand anything about most of the fields these results touch, but I can say that this in particular is very surprising.

My guess is that the constant terms are large enough it's not practically useful in most cases.
