Comment (by SimonKing):

 Still in lex_cmp_partial: If the two list segments are equal, then each
 pair of items is compared twice, namely:
 {{{
     for i in range(step):
         if v1[i] > v2[i]:
             return 1
         if v1[i] < v2[i]:
             return -1
 }}}
 Hence, if they coincide in the first 10 positions and differ in the 11th,
 then 21 or 22 comparisons are needed to find the bigger vector. But if one
 does
 {{{
     for i in range(step):
         if v1[i] != v2[i]:
             break
     if i<step:
         if v1[i]<v2[i]:
             return -1
         else:
             return 1
     return 0
 }}}
 then only 11 or 12 comparisons are needed.
