It must be machine or OS dependent.
I re-discovered Hanlon3 method :) and ran it with Bobby's newest. I
don't have Bobby's data so I generated random didgits in the 0-9 range
Here are the results:
In[28]:=
v = Table[Random[Integer,
{0, 9}], {i, 1, 10^7}];
In[29]:=
Timing[({First[#1],
Length[#1]} & ) /@
Split[Sort[First /@
Split[v]]]]
Out[29]=
{35.58*Second, {{0, 898901},
{1, 899397}, {2, 901191},
{3, 899449}, {4, 900824},
{5, 900262}, {6, 899338},
{7, 900293}, {8, 900196},
{9, 901311}}}
In[32]:=
Timing[({First[#1],
Length[#1]} & ) /@
Split[Sort[Split[v][[All,
1]]]]]
Out[32]=
{38.67999999999998*Second,
{{0, 898901}, {1, 899397},
{2, 901191}, {3, 899449},
{4, 900824}, {5, 900262},
{6, 899338}, {7, 900293},
{8, 900196}, {9, 901311}}}
My machine is a 1.25Ghz G4 with 2G Ram and with OSX 10.3.5.
