Quick question - Is there any computational savings to padding input arrays for the filter function to a power of 2?

Not that I’m aware of. It would likely do the opposite. (It could also introduce artefactual ‘ringing’ in the output with a sharp transition to zeros.)
Also, use the filtfilt function if you have the Signal Processing Toolbox. It has the advantage of not introducing any phase distortion. The filter function does.

Good deal. I was messing around with repmat() and padarray() for that padding, but filtfilt on an unpadded array seems to get me what I was looking for.
Thanks much.
