- FACTS
- -----
-
-
-
-
-
- The old facts for sorting routines are as follows:
-
-
- Bubble sort ------- slow (3-4 hours for 10'000 items)
-
- Shell Metzner ------- Better (2-3 minutes)
-
- Quick Sort (NEW) ---- Even better (2 minutes)
-
- Mentat Sort ------- The Fastest (1.3 minutes)
-
-
-
- So as you can see we're faster.
-
- note- The above tests were not taken from an interpreted
- basic but all the routines were first compiled.
-
- note- In interpreted basic the speed will be slower but
- ours is still faster.
