I guess it'd be fastest to collect those 500 rows into an 
array, and then do st. like this:

* create an array of all the values of the critical column,
* run array_count_values() on it,
* take the keys which have value >1,
* iterate the rows again, and if the critical column value
in any iteration is in_array() of the keys, highlight the 
row.
