An easy to understand example would be finding the average daily balance of 100 million checking accounts. The straight forward math is simple. Determine the daily balance for each day, add them up, and divide by the number of days. That's very inefficient when you try to do it for 100 million accounts in the latter part of December.
So mechanically what would end up happening? Do you do average each account? Or do you just take a really good sample?

Cool, my wife and a lot of our friends work in television here in NY
really? that's so cool! where does she work?
My bf's brother produces most of the reality shows in Denmark and he told me I could intern for him! American Idol is my favorite show and now I can work on the Danish version! hehe

She works for Cablevision, one of the larger cable tv providers in the country. They own a number of channels, so her actual job is working for the Madison Square Garden and Fox Sports channels. Her job is to make sure that whatever is supposed to go out over the air actually does air. Also, for the past 2 weeks she has been working on airing the World Baseball Classic and has been insuring that the green screen behind home plate airs the correct graphics.
I have other friends that work for them doing everything from Producing, Camera and Broadcast Engineering

The Feds don't allow samples
even a penny off and they get all jumpy (thank you Sarbanes-Oxley)
In this simple example I would probably create daily, monthly, quarterly and annual buckets. The calculation still have to be done but only once and the results saved for the next day.
The trick is building the tools to determine if that actually would be the most efficient. Often the most efficient algorithm is not the obvious choice.

So it would be a matter of how often to count it, then writing a code that would count it most efficiently.
Dang that would have been fun.
