This only took some minutes. The former contests would require orders of magnitude more. And Jim, the speed contest is still open for you. Actually, I wouldn't consider the size contest finished either.
These kinda of things aren't my expertise, I only knew of a couple of sorting methods. So making a faster sorter than you or anyone else is unlikely. Smaller was my best chance, but those two bytes are laughing in my face.
You honestly think someone can go smaller than 14 instuctions. If you can, you have a loyal minion right here man.
Yes, there is on Pentium CPUs. Stopwatch, naturally. Well, in this case you could do it with a custom interrupt routine, since it doesn't affect the relative speeds.

The name, it's suppose to be sorter, the algorithm no clue. I should have done more research, can't doubt the memory efficiancy of stupid sort now. I guess i should try for speed. Do the same rulez still apply?
