           we're shuffling.  When to use the sparse method was
           determined with the help of this script:

           #!/bin/sh
           for n in $(seq 2 32); do
             for h in $(seq 2 32); do
               test $h -gt $n && continue
               for s in o n; do
                 test $s = o && shuf=shuf || shuf=./shuf
                 num=$(env time -f "$s:${h},${n} = %e,%M" \
                       $shuf -i0-$((2**$n-2)) -n$((2**$h-2)) | wc -l)
                 test $num = $((2**$h-2)) || echo "$s:${h},${n} = failed" >&2
               done
             done
           done

           This showed that if sparseness = n/h, then:

           sparseness = 128 => .125 mem used, and about same speed
           sparseness =  64 => .25  mem used, but 1.5 times slower
           sparseness =  32 => .5   mem used, but 2 times slower

           Also the memory usage was only significant when n > 128Ki
