"font-family:Trebuchet MS ">Jesper Hald and others recently did a benchmark of a certain algorithm to figure out, which was fastest. It evolved into a kind of competition to make the fastest algorithm to solve this problem:Fill a data structure with 1,000,000 random, unsorted values from 0-100 Run through this data structure 200 times, counting a) number of values = 42 b) average for all 1,000,000*200 valuesThe benchmark was run on a new T5800 Toshiba laptop running 32-bit Windows Vista.
