tl;dr—taking the transpose of a huge feature table in pandas is super intensive, as is calling
.loc[]
on said huge feature table.Fortunately, there's the
DataFrame.align()
method, which lets us delegate most of this work to pandas. This is much, much faster thanmatchdf()
.(And we get around the transpose issue now by temporarily transposing the sample metadata instead of the feature table—generally, the sample metadata should be a lot smaller. I think this might be a pandas bug, actually? see pandas-dev/pandas#22630 -- will try to report on something there)
In any case, it's now pretty fast again to run the EMP dataset (with poisson-cat differentials) through Qurro (assuming -x 2000 is passed, as before).
