+
+ 1. Non-recursive, using an explicit stack of pointer that store the
+ next array partition to sort. To save time, this maximum amount
+ of space required to store an array of MAX_INT is allocated on the
+ stack. Assuming a 32-bit integer, this needs only 32 *
+ sizeof(stack_node) == 136 bits. Pretty cheap, actually.
+
+ 2. Chose the pivot element using a median-of-three decision tree.
+ This reduces the probability of selecting a bad pivot value and
+ eliminates certain extraneous comparisons.
+
+ 3. Only quicksorts TOTAL_ELEMS / MAX_THRESH partitions, leaving
+ insertion sort to order the MAX_THRESH items within each partition.
+ This is a big win, since insertion sort is faster for small, mostly
+ sorted array segements.
+
+ 4. The larger of the two sub-partitions is always pushed onto the
+ stack first, with the algorithm then concentrating on the
+ smaller partition. This *guarantees* no more than log (n)
+ stack size is needed (actually O(1) in this case)! */
