This sub-thread is about sorting lines with average length of few
dozens characters, i.e. many times longer than log2(N). That was stated
at one of earlier posts.
If it was about sorting English words it would be completely different
matter. Likely, dependency still exists for very short sorts, but
likely disappers at few K words.

May be, for text, consistiong of many million of lines it would be
the case. But the longest books ever written by human are much much
shorter than that.

There aren't many books that are sufficiently long.
