That's great but does it beat SSAS? Does it beat LINQ?
It seems that the primary competitors to r17 would be K/Q,LINQ,Powershell,and possibly SSAS (unsure how much statistical power is in r17).

Apart from that niggle, I agree...more bakeoffs needed. There's not much statistical power in r17, it's more a brute force thing. If you want more finesse the idea is to hand off to a fancier (and most likely slower) language like R.
