What about large lists of things? Would it be more efficient to do an individual expected utility estimation on each individual item on the list, and then order them, or would it still be an advantage to compare each item one at a time to another item? I figure that would take vastly more time, though if you just do rough estimates at first, then increase the level of accuracy as the estimates get closer to each other, it could go fairly quick.
