Execution time question about leo-senate-model HOT 2 CLOSED

About 4 hours on what I think is an average-ish mac.

There are all kinds of inefficiencies in that section of the code. As
currently written, it will end up carrying around 36 races_n.sims_110 days
of numbers; we meant to rewrite but haven't made it there yet. (And we've
only been running a day at a time with the just.today flag recently
anyway.)

Some small consolation prizes:

• We're on day 196 now, so you're closer to done in the countdown than you
  think.
• If you're okay with a tiny amount of wiggle, 250k is overkill by a factor
  of 5 or 10.

Just as a reality check, how long does it take you to run this with n.sims
<- 250000, and what kind of system are you running it on?

For us it's been running for about two hours on a 4.4 GHz Core i7-2600K,
saturating one core, and the numbers counting down (after "SIMULATING
THINGS") have gone from 307 down to 220. It's consuming about 9-12 GiB of
RAM.

Do you run it on lots of EC2 nodes and have some technique to combine
multiple separate runs (with a smaller n.sims in each run) or otherwise
multithread it? At this rate, running on one core it looks like it will
take more than a day to finish. :-)

Thanks,
Keith

Thanks very much. 30e1af9 helps as well of course.
