> The current implementation of QuickSort naively partitions on either side of
> the pivot. We can improve this by partitioning on either side of the set of
> values equal to the pivot. This assumes that comparing keys is expensive
> compared to swaps and index comparisons (which it certainly is in MapTask,
> and should be in general).
