Performance is pretty poor, since creating the "superposition" required for the analysis of hidden frequencies is quite intensive (and I do not have a quantum computer). This step consumes about 99% of the total runtime.
Performance tests produced similar results as I found in: https://scholar.colorado.edu/math_gradetds/39/ (Parsons, Elizabeth Ellen, "Simulation of a Quantum Prime Factoring Algorithm" (2016), p. 42.)

The program can also handle numbers with factors of the kind p^n with p = a prime and n>1. (not all versions of Shor I found, could do this)
Using a "parfor" inside the "order_qstyle" function would help to speed it up a bit.

Example(s):
shor(156) delivers : 2 2 3 13 in 0.060103 seconds
shor(793) delivers: 13 61 in 287.038115 seconds
shor(1185) delivers: 3 5 79 in 80.203060 seconds
