It's not really your algorithm, it's your implementation of a well-known
algorithm.

You don't zero the right number of elements in countval.  This, in turn,
is because you do

  number=Math.floor(Math.random() * end) + start;

so the numbers range from start to start+end-1.

Quoting a factor is not very helpful.  It's likely that you are doing
some form of counting sort, so you can make it any number of times
faster simply by sorting a larger set.  Equally, you can probably make
it lower by choosing a small set with a huge range.
