So it sure looks like this script does expose a problem on BSD-derived

in the script, while the shortest time is the first case, which was slow
for Gary. So I'd venture that the *BSD code has been tweaked somewhere
along the way, in a manner that moves the problem around without really
fixing it. (Anyone want to compare the actual FreeBSD source to what
we have?)
It's really interesting to see a case where port/qsort is radically
worse than other qsorts ... unless we figure that out and fix it,
I think the idea of using port/qsort everywhere has just taken a
major hit.
More specifically to BSD, is there any way I can use a non-BSD qsort for
building Postresql server?
