Thanks to both Scott and Matthew for your detailed discussion. I am not
concerned about the speed of the algorithm as its relatively simple math. The
conceptual points that are made are worth more investigation but given the
nature of the problem
it will require a bit of time to think this through and also to run the tweaked
algorithm on our sample data. So I mark this as triaged. I think its a
fascinating problem and deserves some more investigation even if the result
might be that we just keep
our current approach.
