I'm feeling a deja vu.  You asked that question a while ago:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/browse_thread/thread/2c27b268c4450399/c86c12e0be28917b?

Did I miss any subtle but relevant change of the question?
Or did you re-ask it in the hope of getting new answers this
time?

PS: I found the old thread, because I remembered that "timsort" was
  mentioned among the answers, and within this group that was a rare
  enough thing...
