A little too quick on the submit there, I should have run it :) But anyway, that seems to be a damn sight faster than to run a loop to add a bunch of numbers in a fixed interval. Especially for large 'n'.

Probably much faster, but also doing half the work yourself. It'll depend on the situation which is the better solution.
