Does the Rust compiler use their std sort algorithms, or does it already use specialized ones? If the former, it would be a great side-effect if the compiler itself receives additional speed ups because of this.

Alas, on the whole the compiler slowed down as a result of this. I think it's a worthy tradeoff though.
