Is it the sort that's dragging you down, or is it the the multiple
multi-million iteration I/O segments?

------------------
$ cat foo.php
<?php

for ($i = 0; $i < 1000001; ++$i) {
echo "nothing\n";
}

?>
$ time php foo.php >/dev/null
0m2.10s real 0m0.89s user 0m0.73s system
$
------------------

I may not have the fastest machine in the world, but since it takes two
seconds to *throw away* just a million rows of output to something that
has about as little overhead as is possible to have makes me think that
the sort is only a tiny part of your overhead.

They got rid of it because they judged it more trouble than it was
worth. (And considering they'd gone to great lengths to minimize its
worth, I suppose they were right.)
