Description
Awesome work by @HughParsonage. There's reference to things you can do in data.table that you can't do elsewhere, and 2 seconds vs 30 mins.
Would be great to do a proper benchmark and write up where data.table is being used to its fullest and compare to alternatives like dplyr and SQL. It could be a page on the wiki, or an article, or both. It could be linked from our homepage.
