When I looked at this, I found that Marcel collected 8 sort routines and
set up a testbed framework to check their speeds under various
conditions.
It's in the file manysorts.frt in the archive monster.zip (monster
benchmarks) that can be found here:
http://home.iae.nl/users/mhx/monsterbench.html
I haven't checked whether the routines can be improved -- if their use
was for benchmarks to test Forth systems then they wouldn't need to be
done well. Some of them might use tricks that are specifie to iForth.
But at the least they're a good starting place and if you can get the
testbed to work you can test improvements.
