Actually, coreutils "sort" does indeed have some multibyte support these days, since it uses strcoll rather than strcmp, and this can indeed make "sort" slow if strcoll is slow (which it often is). That is, even though sort's multibyte support is not 100% done, it's enough to hurt performance in some important cases. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
