Initial results for sorting data suggest that a small sortsize improves sortation, whilst the time taken is largely independent of the buffer size (bufsize) used to create the file.
These are only initial findings – based on a single set of observations for one size of dataset – and these taken on a day when the server complained of memory problems.
Curious!
I will update this page when I have more confidence in the results
