Ted Dunning commented on MAHOUT-1190:
-------------------------------------
SASV will only do better on data large enough to cause the RASV to blow the
cache. That may be large enough on modern machines to be irrelevant much of
the time. L3 cache on a Sandy Bridge is 10-15MB.
If you run the benchmarks with, say, 50 million non-zeros I would expect you to
see some dramatic differences.

> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Dan Filimon
>
> Currently when calling .assign() on a SASV with another vector and a custom
> function, it will iterate through it and assign every single entry while also
> referring it by index.
> This makes the process *hugely* expensive. (on a run of BallKMeans on the 20
> newsgroups data set, profiling reveals that 92% of the runtime was spent
> updating assigning the vectors).
> Here's a prototype patch:
