Is it time to "remove" PG qsort and use libc version for solaris 9, 10...?
I have no particular desire to introduce a version number check until we
have to. If you can show that the newer versions have a qsort that
substantially *out-performs* ours, it would be worth doing that, but
merely being competitive isn't enough to make it worth the trouble.
The implementation in the solaris uses same ideas like postgres
implementation exclude sort array detection. There are small difference
with threshold when median uses 9 items and threshold for insertion
sort. Performance is similarly - no winer (only on sorted array).
