I believe that bubble sort is faster if the data is usually presorted.
The Unicode consortium describes the sorting of codepoints to forn the
normalization forms, because the initial decomposition process usually
results in an ordering that is usually in or close to the desired order.

[It's the reverse.  Insertion sort is O(N) if the list is already sorted.
