I'm curious about the runtimes for quantile regression.  I am running
decile regressions (.1, .2, .3, .4, .5, .6, .7, .8, and .9) on a very
large dataset (the Census' 2008 American Community Survey 1% samples).
 Runtimes generally decrease as deciles increase:


Runtimes are in minutes

.1    74.27413
.2   34.95253
.3     13.1072
.4    8.738133
.5    8.738133
.6   4.369067
.7     6.5536
.8    8.738133


I'm very curious -- why is the runtime for .1 regression so much
higher than for .2?  And what might explain the general pattern of
these runtimes?


Thanks,
