[Numpy-discussion] speed problem with Numeric sort

Well, this is what I get with Python 2.1, NumPy 20.0.0, Linux on a
450Mhz PIII

[cbarker at waves junk]$ python numtst.py
20.0.0
0.438
0.154
0.148
0.139

So whatever it was may have been fixed (or be a strange platform
dependence). Note, you do want to be a bit careful about using
time.time, as it measures real time, so if you have another process
hogging resources, it will not be a fair measure. You can use
time.closck instead, although I'm sure it has its issues as
well.

This is what I get with clock:
[cbarker at waves junk]$ python numtst.py
20.0.0
0.440
0.160
0.140
0.140

There's not much going on on my machine right now, so little difference.
