Yaayyy! That's good news. Thanks for timing it. I read your email just after talking with Dan (in person) about how we'd time it. I just bought 1 TB worth of disk for my home computer and hadn't hooked it up yet, so was going to volunteer that, but you beat me to it. At this point to my mind the only question is how to put this change in, and whether to make it the default (with gzip, say). Clearly it can lead to a big performance improvement with large sorts on modern machines. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
