uhm 7 seconds

dont use kaiser windows if you have no FPU or optimize the code properly
its surely possibly to do this faster with table and cubic interpolation
also i think your float/double emulation might be trash because even without
FPU 7sec appears quite extreem, it just calculates ~16k samples of a function
on a ~500mhz cpu in 7sec thats 200k cpu cycles for a single value
