For a more realistic test, we need to sort something larger, so that 'sort' becomes disk-bound. Maybe a terabyte of data or so, for a typically small machine nowadays that has a GB or two of RAM? It will be a bit of a pain to arrange for a decent set of test cases here, but without it I'm afraid we're just guessing about what will make things run faster oversll. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
