Big-O notation doesn't give you actual numbers, O(n) = O(25*n).
If you're interested in a practical method, look at TimSort and
similar ones that combine different algorithms.
Yeah I know it's more of a generalized number of steps, but it
still gives you a good idea of sorting time. I'll give TimSort a
look over.
Currently I'm estimating this will be a variant of merge-sort.
