What happens when you compile and use the latest stable coreutils
release instead?  That way, we can try to isolate whether your problem
is specific to Red Hat's changes to "sort".

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.gz

Another thought: what happens if you set LC_ALL=C in your environment?
It's conceivable that Red Hat 9's locale support is slower, and that
the older sort doesn't really support locales other than C.
