New issue 2410: list.sort(key=...) is slow
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2410/listsort-key-is-slow
Carl Friedrich Bolz:
Tuom Larsen reported this problem on the mailing list. The following code:
``` python
from random import random
from time import time
class point(object):
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x, self.y = x, y
data = [point(random(), random()) for i in range(2000000)]
t = time()
data.sort(key=lambda p:p.x)
print time() - t
```
is much slower (>3x on my machine) than the manual version:
``` python
wrapped_data = [(p.x, p) for p in data]
wrapped_data.sort()
data = [it[1] for it in wrapped_data]
```
Which is due to a missing JitDriver in the decorate-functionality of the sort
implementation. We should fix that.
