Thread: Vector access speed versus on-the-fly generation

Good question, but I can't answer it because you didn't post your code

Fair comment Jimblumberg - I was a little irritated by my results as much as anything earlier, sorry! there is no sorting involved, or required even - And maybe that is the point - If can sequentially generate all combos to test my solutions,- and exit the check as soon as required - then that is always going to be faster that storing all the combinations and then test them later?

Well, I mean, if you're generating, storing, testing vs generating, testing, the later is obviously going to be faster.
Are you serializing these tests or something? Otherwise it would seem better to me to just generate and immediately tested. Saves memory and calculation time.
