comment Fastest algorithm for calculating retrospective maximum drawdown
There is only 1 path from inception (and only 1 iteration required with vectorized dd result of that path). What you are describing above is a rolling dd (*Note I specified since inception). If you have a time series and can show an example of your algorithm and time, I will reproduce using a vectorized approach and compare times.

comment Fastest algorithm for calculating retrospective maximum drawdown
A vectorized approach (since inception) is very fast.

comment Are there any tools or useful algos for identifying corner portfolios?
*Also, see zivot links below. "The the set of efficient portfolios of risky assets can be computed as a convex combination of any two efficient portfolios."

comment Why are regressors squared and not ^1.5 or ^2.2 or ^2.5?
Because a negative number raised to a non-integer exponent is complex. Of what use would regressing physical economic values have here?

comment Bootstrapping first, then data mine?
I have heard good things about meboot, and started to run it, but I'm not so sure it captures both auto and cross correlations well. It doesn't really make any sense to do cross validation after the data set has been mined. The ideal method would be to train/validate/test over each slice fold set... so that every slice is not biased in any way by the slice that is left out. If you have a strategy, however, you could run the CV over parameters of the same strategy to evaluate robustness.
