sort_buffer (or something similar)
It should be used for the configuration of the system sort that is invoked during the dig and merge run.
We did some tests with htdig-3.1.6 and observed that the system sort (RedHat) uses the size of the free memory to define its buffer size.
But on large server systems there is sometimes a lot of unused memory assigned to cache that can be used by sort.
By using sort_buffer to configure the --buffer-size of the sort calls it is possible to increase the performance of sort. And it can be used to restrict sort on small machines.
