Thus, I provide them in the following problem as random. Although, written as compile code (with CompilationTarget->"C") it is still too slow for the amounts of data I have to process. I provide two of my fastest alternatives, which sadly are not that fast. I do appreciate any help to make the code faster. Thanks in advance!

This should be faster:

tab3 = Transpose[ MapThread[Dot,{weights,#}]& /@ Partition[
       UnitStep[Plus@@Transpose@Tuples@{sortMat,-newMat}], bNum] ]
