An accurate estimate still needs to be made with a timer on a limited set of maybe 10,000

The time of the algorithm is of utmost importance, so the time consuming initial operations are only done once per run... loading a csv file into a pandas data frame... the actual match and sort are the heartbeat of the operation and are being optimized to be run thousands of times per second.

Even with the optimizers in place, the estimate is now measured in months. How many months depends on my ability to make the code as streamlined as possible.... [ More ]
