[issue9915] speeding up sorting with a key

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

The posted experiments on sorted data do not do any sorting. They only test the difference in setup and comparison speed and not sorting/swapping speed. Please post something with large arrays of random data.

Since the patch is intended to speed up 3.2 and your posted experiments were run on that, I am puzzled that you would post a test script to run under late 2.x instead of 3.1+.
