my file contains data in the following format

1951 1 10
1951 1 20
1951 1 30
1951 1 40

1952 1 12
1952 1 22
1952 1 32
1952 1 42
and so on

I want to look like

1951 10 20 30 40
1952 12 22 32 42

each year (1951 to 2004) has 54 rows and I want values under each row to be in one row and the years at 1st column like I wrote above.

I really need it fast

awk '{
if (NF==0)
   next
if ($1==holdyear)
   printf " " $3
else
  {printf "%s%s %s",LF,$1,$3
   holdyear=$1
   LF="\n"}
}
END {printf "\n"}' filein

awk '!/^$/{
 a[$1]=a[$1]" "$3
}
END {
 for ( i in a) { 
  print i,a[i]
 }
}
