Ordering long vectors
I need to order a long vector of integers with rather few unique values.
This is very slow:
> x <- sample(rep(c(1:10), 50000))
> system.time(ord <- order(x))
[1] 189.18 0.09 190.48 0.00 0.00
But with no ties
> y <- sample(500000)
> system.time(ord1 <- order(y))
[1] 1.18 0.00 1.18 0.00 0.00
it is very fast!
This gave me the following idea: Since I don't care
