Wilson with collaborators has found a method of performing calculations with the monster that is considerably faster. Let "V" be a 196,882 dimensional vector space over the field with 2 elements. A large subgroup "H" (preferably a maximal subgroup) of the Monster is selected in which it is easy to perform calculations. The subgroup "H" chosen is 31+12.2.Suz.2, where Suz is the Suzuki group. Elements of the monster are stored as words in the elements of "H" and an extra generator "T". It is reasonably quick to calculate the action of one of these words on a vector in "V". Using this action, it is possible to perform calculations (such as the order of an element of the monster). Wilson has exhibited vectors "u" and "v" whose joint stabilizer is the trivial group. Thus (for example) one can calculate the order of an element "g" of the monster by finding the smallest "i" > 0 such that "g""i""u" = "u" and "g""i""v" = "v".
