Well, not really.  The following probably won't win any speed awards,
but it isn't outrageous (about 0.75 minute for 10^6 elements here).
Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"];
n = 10;
m = 10;
a = Table[Random[Real, m], {n}];
w = Table[Random[], {n}];
aw = Transpose[{a, w}];
bins = Table[{i, i + 1}, {i, 0, m - 1}];
Function[x,
      {
        tmp = Select[aw, x[[1]] <= #[[1]] < x[[2]] &];
        aw = Complement[aw, tmp];
        Total[tmp[[All, 2]]],
        Mean[x]
        }
      ] /@ bins // BarChart
Clear[tmp];
