This is the key insight to sorting fast, I think. When I am trying to digest a
big set (or sets) I look through the bags before opening, looking for bags that
are similar (or exactly the same for multiple set copies). Then I dump all the
bags and cherry pick the most common pieces for that bag set. I don't try to
get every last one, either. When the pile is down to 10-20 percent of the size,
I push it aside and start on the next pile. Sometimes the odds and ends of one
pile are the high volume pieces of the next.
I've chewed through 2 technic shuttles in 20 minutes using this technique.
We'll see now, I broke down and got a Costco card so I could get 4 of those
divers sets. :-)
