Still, Quicksort is twice as fast, so at least one argument for a Data.List.Sort package on hackage remains.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Neumann I don't consider myself to be a very advanced Haskell programmer, but I could come up with a Mergesort that beats List.sort, time- and spacewise.http://hpaste.org/13403On my machine List.sort takes ~10 sec, mergeSort 7, qs 4 (compiled with -O2). List.sort eats too much ram to sort 20.000.000 ints, my algorithms don't. QuickCheck says my implementations are correct.Your single module might be benefiting from optimisation; specifically,specialisation to Ints, which would allow the dictionary lookup to be removed. Can you get the same performance if you move your mergeSort & qs functions into a separate module, and only export mergeSort & qs?
