Intrigued by a comment of McIlroy, I tried catenating all
the .c files in Objects and Modules, into one giant file, and
sorted that. msort got a 22% speedup there, suggesting
there's *some* kind of significant pre-existing lexicographic
order (and/or reverse order) in C source files that msort is
able to exploit.
Trying it again on about 1.33 million lines of Python-Dev
archive (including assorted uuencoded attachmets). msort
got a 32% speedup.
I'm not sure what to make of that, but we needed some real
life data here <wink>. |
