Upspeeding the Fourier-Based calculation of the suceptibility induced field. A higher level of efficiency can be gained if the alias prevention by zero-padding is decoupled from the actual field calculation. This can be done by afterwards estimating this aliasing in a lower resolution. This 'virtual' zero-padding is more than three times faster compared to conventional zero-padding, with only minor accuracy loss. This algorithm is especially applicable in dynamic field shift calculations.
