This code for the first five iterations the speed is okay , but after that the speed is very slow, I cannot understand what is wrong with this? Would you please help me fix it?

          I recommend you learn the distinction between immediate (=) and delayed (:=) assignments. They make the difference between slow and fast code here. Start with this tutorial or this book chapter, then look at memoization.
