I have only been skimming this discussion, but these caught my eye,
and I'm wondering what you mean by "chebychev" here. If you're
driving a sum Chebychev polynomials with the original signal, none of
these statements is necessarily correct -- you can preload a table
with the polynomials, so the computational load can be unrelated to the
harmonic content; the content will depend on the input amplitude; high
harmonics are easy -- just emphasize the relevant polynomial --
probably I don't know what you're talking about.
