Currently I need to find the most common elements in thousands of
arrays within one large array (arround 2 million instances with ~70k
unique elements)
so I set up a dictionary to handle the counting so when I am
iterating I
** up the count on the corrosponding dictionary element **
Right at this point, instead of or in addition to counting, why not save
the large array index in a list? Then when you've identified the 25
most common elements you'll already have a list of pointer to the
instances to work from.
