how to randomize a vector as fast as possible

hello;
I have this vector:
0.001:0.001:125 (size 125000)
I would like to shuffle it as fast as possible because this function repeates alot in my code (without using randperm and such because it is really slow, I dont have the shuffle function on my computer)
any ideas?
thanks :)

this is finished in 28 sec, i dont know how fast other methods are.
tic
Vec=1:125000;
numelVec=numel(Vec);
new_Vec=zeros(1,numelVec);
for i=1:numelVec
rand_num=datasample(Vec,1);
Vec(Vec==rand_num)=[];
new_Vec(i)=rand_num;
end
toc

this is much faster than what you currently have:
jump= 0.001:0.001:125
jump=jump(randperm(125000));

I recommend using a MEX file https://ww2.mathworks.cn/matlabcentral/fileexchange/27076-shuffle?s_tid=FX_rc3_behav if you want to do the process much faster, here you can download this file and add it to your folder, do mex Shuffle.c for once on your matlab console, and you can now use a function much faster than randperm , you could compare it as follows:
Vec=1:125000;
tic
shuflle=Vec(randperm(125000));%normal
toc
tic
shuflle2=Shuffle(Vec);%with mex file
toc

first of all you need run mex Shuffle.c in your matlab command window
mex Shuffle.c
and if you don't have a supported compiler then you need to install it following the instructions that matlab gives you in the error
