Analyzing asm dump should help.
In this case it's a good amount of asm code.
This sounds like you are not interested in the cause of this at all ;)
I've dig it and it looks mostly fine. However for a small number of
elements it will most of the time will fall through to the insertion
sort, so the analysis can be limited to just testing your bubble/etc.
sort vs Phobos equivalent. Just grab optimisticInsertionSort out of
Phobos std.algorithm and compare.
But either way zip-sort heavily relies on proper inlining and I
suspect it's not fully "unrolled".
I don't know if that's enough.
Well the other way to test is sort array of tuples with std.sort
and then with your function. Also it's important to see the actual code
that you compare otherwise we are just wasting time here.
Did you try DMD or other compilers?
In past I have used LDC often, but nowadays I use only DMD.
Well I'd try GDC just to check if it's a codegen/optimizer issue.
