Harder to judge how they compare if duplicates are more probable: I think this is O(m*n) where n is the size of the sequence and m is the expected number of items between two duplicates, i.e. m=1/p where p is the probability of an item being a duplicate. I agree the above is O(n^2) with no duplicates. However I wonder how distinct-values is implemented with Saxon that you say it is O(n log n). What intrigues me is that the order does not change on Oxygen 16.1. Cheers Leo
