Thanks,
as for turbo CORE/BOOST AFAIK it is a complex internal tweak not only increasing CPU frequency but RAM timings and who-knows-what-else, my point is that I want to see how the CPU-RAM system responds to a particular test/program i.e. to gather stable results.

In order to feel how fundamental is sorting (I still don't get why major benchmarks lack it) here comes my newest phrase-checking package 'Dumbino', made last night it is the first (free and open-source) English phrase-checker:

In a few words: MJ test Quicksort helps one understand how different CPU-RAM systems would behave on a really heavy load, by heavy I mean my current corpus of four-word-phrases (879,557,846), the MJ Quicksort test sorts 206,908,943 - in 'Dumbino' package I gave 140,222,335 phrases (after ripping the Google-books US n-gram corpus 400GB in size). Now in order to phrase-check (spell-check uses 1-grams) an entire ebook consisted of 42,208 4-gram phrases Dumbino mixes them with those 140,222,335 and resorts them, thus all familiar and unfamiliar phrases pop-up in SUB-LINEAR time!

@Neuromancer: When you have time (this year) I would like to hear your opinion on this subject (monstrous phrase-checking) which has been, is and will be in my sight for a long time.

Wanna salute all with one of my favorite video-songs ever: P!nk - Funhouse, the pianist is so joyful and charming.
