Since we're taking entries from active_cache, which is already in sorted
order with same-named entries adjacent, we can skip a lookup.  Also, we can
just use append instead of insert (avoiding the need to find where to put
the new item) and still end up with a sorted list.

Assumed negligible performance change; I didn't even bother measuring it.
But I just happened to be looking around at this code while trying to figure
out some of the performance and figured it was at least speeding it up a
tiny bit.
