Hi, I was looking at some data in a 6MB text file using sort. When I used the --key flag, the speed of sort was embarrassingly bad. It was *~80 times slower* on my new Athlon64 processor as on an old 1GHz P3 using cygwin's sort under Windows 2000! I ran grep "konnect 1" Out_konnect | sort --key=4 -n |less
Hmm, are you sure it's all sort's fault? can you time the following on the suse box: export LANG=C time grep -F "konnect 1" Out_konnect | sort --key=4,4n -- Pádraig Brady - http://www.pixelbeat.org --
