Clay: You are right. The sort numbers are wrong.
I was comparing sorting a long array with sorting an object Long. Instead of using ParallelLongArray I was using ParallelArray with object Long[]. Therefore, I adjusted the article number from 5-7 times faster to “almost 2 times faster.” Tymeac generally runs as well as and often faster then the JSR166 sort on a small numbers of processors. It all comes down to the task granularity and number of processors. The more real CPU’s to spread the work onto, the better load balancing works.
