Oh, something I forgot to mention: I tried using a constant number of bits but varying the vector size/quantity to see how things scaled. In other words, I compared:
vec size | # vectors |
10,000 | 1 |
5,000 | 2 |
3,333 | 3 |
2,500 | 4 |
2,000 | 5 |
1,000 | 10 |
I found more smaller vectors works better until the number of samples matches the number if bits in the smaller vector. Plotting the functions:
(1-exp(-x/1000))^10
(1-exp(-x/2000))^5
(1-exp(-x/2500))^4
(1-exp(-x/3333))^3
1-exp(-x/10000)
using a graphing calculator shows that's where the curves cross:

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
