I ran the sort script without change, the resulting file was about 250MB
in size. Not sure what kind of sizes you were looking for.

6.5.3
696.01 real 0.03 user 0.02 sys

"7.0" from last Saturday
957.73 real 0.03 user 0.02 sys
one more time
936.41 real 0.04 user 0.01 sys

FreeBSD 3.3, 200MHz Pentium (P55C), 128MB RAM
both installations where done without extras (bare ./configure)

That almost seems too wacko to be true. I'll be happy to rerun them, with
other sizes if you want.
