Hopefully these ideas will make it into GNU B<sort> in the future.

Same as B<sort>. Except:

Change the number of sorts run concurrently to I<N>. I<N> will be
increased to number of files if B<parsort> is given more than I<N>
files.

B<parsort> is faster on a file than on stdin (standard input), because
B<parsort> is faster on files than on stdin (standard input), because
different parts of a file can be read in parallel.
On a 48 core machine you should see a speedup of 3x over B<sort>.
