Well, that doesn't play well in revolution when it comes to the powerball
and other lottery  checking software  with millions of ticket cross
checking. A good lottery software (not the generator portion) only take
about an hour in PERL.

I've written several state software lottery checking systems and you.
Introduce a GUI and it slugs down.

You can go through 200,000,000 million ticket comparisons and report it in
an hour.

From  my experience, Try THAT in revolution!

Best,

Andy

Is this slower or about the same?  with your data set
[these are not tested, so you many need to tweak syntax]

repeat for each line LNN in myData
  get myData
  filter it with LNN
  put line 1 of it & cr after uniqueOnly
end repeat
get put the number of lines in uniqueOnly
put the number of lines in myData & " minus dups =" & it

of course, making the target data set smaller and smaller has advantages
so adding an IF condition might defeat speed gain near end of 40000
lines...

put empty into uniqueOnly
put myData into remainingLines
put the number of lines in remainingLines into remainingCount
repeat for each line LNN in myData
  filter remainingLines without LNN
  get the number of lines in remainingLines
  if it < remainingCount then  --at least one dup found
     put LNN & cr after uniqueOnly
     put the number of lines in remainingLines into remainingCount
  end if
end repeat
get put the number of lines in uniqueOnly
put the number of lines in myData & " minus dups =" & it

If all lines are shorter than 255 chars..

put myData into arrayFood
repeat for each line LNN in arrayFood
       put LNN & tab & 1 & cr after tempVar
end repeat
--assming
split tempVar using cr and tab
put the keys of tempVar into uniqueOnly

Try these and see, not that it will be worth all the time and effort.
Once
you have a speedy solution, go on to the next task and leave the diving to
to the benchmarkers out there.

if anyone is interested, while trying to find the fastest way to compare
each line of a list with every other line, I found the following
technique
quite fast :

-- myData contains the 40000 lines to chack
-- myData1 is a duplicate of myData

put myData into myData1

 repeat for each line j in myData
  delete line 1 of myData1
  repeat for each line i in myData1
  end repeat
 end repeat
