Since you have to compare each item of the option list against a given list 
of items you *must* do this comparison...how else would you be able which 
items should be selected. The only optimization I can imagine is to convert 
the the list of given items into a dict to perform a lookup in constant 
time instead of O(length_of_given_list).
