It is possible to use SparseArrays to speed this up even further. First
convert the original list into a vector of 1s and 0s, where the 1s
indicate where a pair of negatives were. Then convert to SparseArrays
and extract the position of the nonzero elements:
In[15]:=
r1=L[[SparseArray[
1-Sign[Total[Transpose[1+Sign[L]]]]
]/.SparseArray[_,_,_,{_,{_,x_},_}]:>Flatten[x]]];//Timing
r2=Pick[L,Total@Transpose@Sign@L,-2];//Timing
r1===r2
Out[15]=
{0.188 Second,Null}
Out[16]=
{1.516 Second,Null}
Out[17]=
True
