+## sort-benchmark
+
+Inspired by [Bert's post](https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/c++-1).
+
+Sorting an array of integers is a simple task, so C and C++ should perform
+similarly, right? Wrong!
+
+```
+C time for 100000000 numbers: 9.886314s
+C++ time for 100000000 numbers: 4.92299s
+C++ time for 100000000 numbers (parallel): 0.495435s
+```
+
+A similar benchmark is provided for sorting an arrays of pairs in a
+non-standard way.
