Thanks for the reply. I will only have to do this a handful of times, so I am really looking for an expert best guess.

    So, does your code run now? If it runs within whatever time constraint that you have (and it sounds like even overnight is "fast enough"), why bother with more optimization? I mean if it takes you a day or two of work and the program would have already finished by then, its not a good use of your time. However a 2D array would probably be better that a 2D Hash.

    Update: Is there a way to provide a small, runnable data set? Even a 20x20 matrix or whatever? Ie. some data set that is small enough to post here?
