That sounds like a fast machine you have Andrew.
I would like for you to run a test if you would.
SOURCE CODE of what I am sending:
/* QSORT.C: This program reads the name of a file
* to be sorted, from the command line. The lines
* are read into memory then sorted and then written
* to stdout.
*
* Note: The sort is of the entire ASCII line and does
* not parse the line in any way.
*
* Sample:
* qsort sortme.txt > sorted.txt
