That's great ... I had a 6MB file that put each line as a hash key into a
DB_File DB file and it was took about a half hour just to create the DB
File on my 604e/180/60MHz bus.  OTOH, taking that same file, putting it all
into an array, sorting it, and writing it back took about 2 minutes.

So what here is "bull"?
