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.

0.554408, 0.56675
(takes about 1.3 seconds)
Alternatively, use
Table[u[i], i, 1, 100]
(same result). Your combination of For and Print shows the results but doesn't let you keep using them for more calculations.

delayedassignments definitely sound slower thanimmediate, even if I have never worked with Mathematica

@Roland it's not just that one is necessarily faster or slower than the other, it's more that they are completely different things with very different applications. For some reason this point is often overlooked by beginners in Mathematica.
