基准
以下基准测试是使用 clang -O3 编译的，并在我 2012 年中期的 macbook air 上运行。
对 100 万个数组进行排序的时间（以毫秒为单位）。
大小为 2、4、8 的数组的毫秒数分别为 1.943、8.655、20.246。
以下是 6 个元素的小数组的平均时钟。基准代码和示例可以在这个问题中找到：
Fastest sort of fixed length 6 int array
Direct call to qsort library function : 342.26
Naive implementation (insertion sort) : 136.76
Insertion Sort (Daniel Stutzbach) : 101.37
Insertion Sort Unrolled : 110.27
Rank Order : 90.88
Rank Order with registers : 90.29
Sorting Networks (Daniel Stutzbach) : 93.66
Sorting Networks (Paul R) : 31.54
Sorting Networks 12 with Fast Swap : 32.06
Sorting Networks 12 reordered Swap : 29.74
Reordered Sorting Network w/ fast swap : 25.28
Templated Sorting Network (this class) : 25.01
对于 6 个元素，它的执行速度与问题中最快的示例一样快。
可在此处找到用于基准测试的代码。
它包括更多功能和进一步优化，可在真实数据上实现更强大的性能。
