Steve,
Thank you.
arun,
Could you run it with `microbenchmark` instead of system.time (with times = 100
or so) and paste the results here?
Also, maybe you could use debugonce(data.table:::`[.data.table`) and then run
x[, .SD[.N], by='Date']
to go step by step to find out the line that causes the lag, perhaps?
