Okay.  If you find it's still slow in C locale, the next thing to try
would be forcing use of our own qsort, as we already do for Solaris.
You'd need to tweak this bit in configure.in:

# Solaris has a very slow qsort in certain cases, so we replace it.
case $host_os in solaris*) 
AC_LIBOBJ(qsort) ;;
esac

I'm not sure why it's done that way though.  'Twould be better to let
the per-platform template files determine it.
