headsort
headsort: streaming sort + 2x faster than gnu sort
...Best case was about opposite that of sort(1)*.
NEW* hsort main algorithm speed improvement (applies to all; 27,29,31). Now faster than sort(1) (in all cases tested).
Using triangulation, hsort begins piped sorted output when 1st bin is done. This means it has new applications in distributed computing and in some cases makes dc un-necessary. (gnu sort must finish all bins)
Well compatible with gnu sort (not perfect).
