Huang,
This discussion is started from your optimization code:
if (nr_swapfiles > 1)
sort();
I don't have such fast machine so cannot test it. However, you added
such optimization code in there so I guess it's *worth* to review so
with spending my time, I pointed out what you are missing and
suggested a idea to find a compromise.
Now you are saying sort is so fast so no worth to add more logics
to avoid the overhead?
Then, please just drop that if condition part and instead, sort
it unconditionally.
