Hello,

I have done some scalability tests and i have come to the conclusion that
parallel heapsort is better on scalability than parallel quicksort cause the
P part (of the Amdahl equation) is bigger in parallelheapsort than parallel
quicksort, the parallel heapsort is doing more on the parallel part, it's 
why
it scales better than parallel quicksort, but parallel quicksort is still 
faster
than parallel heapsort and parallel merge sort on my tests on a
quad core processor.
