fyi On my machine match runs *much* faster...

> t0 <- Sys.time(); for (i in 1:reps) { match(Y,X) }; print(Sys.time() - t0)
Time difference of 0.1570001 secs
> t0 <- Sys.time(); for (i in 1:reps) { sapply(Y,function(Y){which(Y==X)})
> }; print(Sys.time() - t0)
Time difference of 6.093 secs
> 6.09/.157
[1] 38.78981

Regards,
Sean
