Out-of-nowhere coding inspiration: algorithm 60 times faster — from 5 minutes to under 5 seconds

Running RoM with MEv2 caused some very interesting scenarios when debugging code. I spent half an hour admiring the symmetry between boolean and bitwise operations and figured out how to transform one into another more efficiently. By splitting dataset IDs into 100 bins using sets, what took 3–5 minutes for 1,510 records became less than 5 seconds — a 60x speedup. The algorithm generalizes to any sized dataset and is scalable. The inspiration to use it came organically — pure creativity. So yeah... I'm impressed.
