Nov 14, 2012 at 21:25 comment added Dr. belisarius Oh well, I wanted to give you the opportunity to tweak the measurements :)
Nov 14, 2012 at 21:17 comment added halirutan @belisarius No, unless I don't win I never make exact measurements ;-)
Nov 14, 2012 at 12:33 comment added Dr. belisarius Nice +1. Could you test the speed of both solutions head to head on your machine?
Nov 14, 2012 at 11:04 comment added Mr.Wizard +1 for doing the legwork. I would have done something similar (but likely ugly) if this were a Project Euler problem.

Nov 14, 2012 at 8:50 comment added halirutan @LeonidShifrin Thanks. I'm thinking about substituting Subsets by a small code which iterates through all subsets. I'm not sure how much faster (or slower) this will be, but the creating of the Subsets is a bottleneck. Unfortunately Subsets[expr,{k},{j}] is not faster which either means there is no speedup to expect or Subsets is just slow.
Nov 14, 2012 at 8:38 comment added Leonid Shifrin +1. I got a similar idea but alas had no time to implement and write it up.
