Hi Dimitre,

OK, I will drop the Muenchian argument and start focusing on how to build binary
trees efficiently.
I still think there is an problem with 'linear' DVC in terms of time complexity.
If I can show an efficient implementation of building binary trees - then DVC in
general can be done efficiently - that's my point.

I'll provide complete *working* examples + timings and test them thouroughly
*before* posting them to the list ;-)

Cheers,

Robbert.
