Why is this code so slow?

$begingroup$


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?



  Clear[A, r, x, s, e]
s := 0.3405
e := 1.6539*10^-21
u[0] := 0.
u[1] := 0.1

A[r_] := A[r] =
Piecewise[{{r - 2.5 s - 48*e *s^12*r^-13 + 24*e*s^6*r^-7,
r > 2.5 s}, {-48*e*s^12*r^-13 + 24*e*s^6*r^-7,
s [LessSlantEqual] r [LessSlantEqual] 2.5 s}, {r - s -
24*e*s^-1, r < s}}]
For[i = 2, i < 101,
i++, { u[i_] :=
x /. FindRoot[
u[i - 1] +
1/(i^2 (u[i - 1] - u[i - 2])^2) (u[i - 1] - u[i - 2]) -
0.9 A[x] == x , {x, 1.}]; Print[u[i]]}]

          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.

                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.
