I haven't been following this thread so my apologies if I'm missing the point, but a while back I had to deal with the task of selecting m random people for a voter pole from a list N registered voters, where N was over 100,000.
Check out "Random pick" in Rev Online. I found using an array 3 times factor than picking from a list. It takes time to pick a number out of a list. Including the time to convert the list into an array.
