Sorry, I have no idea if your two replies to me in this thread are as a result of my having offended you or not. If you're offended I'm sorry, that wasn't my intent.

I'm probably being dense, but as far as I could see, neither of your responses answered the question:

"If you need to process the keys in sorted order - and the volume of data of the keys is significant - why are you storing them in a data structure which does not keep them in a sorted order?"

Your oblique references to performance perhaps suggest that you think the cost of updating the index on insertion will be too high to meet your throughput needs.

Is this right?

If there's some other meaning, I'm afraid I've missed it. Perhaps you could rephrase it?

Update: is this all a joke, btw? 44Mb of RAM isn't a significant amount out of the buffer cache of "a very expansive computer, plenty of memory, fast CPU". Or is this all on a historical machine? Or is your point something about human versus computer computations?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
