Experiments with C++ and comparisons with C.

For the first post in the series.

Inspired by Bert’s post.

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.
