It went *very* well, actually much better than I had originally
expected. This query used to take over 12 hours to complete (about 11
of which was after the main table involved was sorted). With this new
aaccum in place the whole query only took about an hour, most of which
was the sort and join required by the query. The aggregation (aaccum)
and r_hist() (R histogram function generating PNGs) took only a few
minutes.
very cool, and definately useful imo. i use array_accum all the time,
and have not always been happy with its performance. if your stuff
passes muster, would be nice to see it move into core :-).
