Re: .NET 2.0 performance bug in ArrayList.Sort (its getting hotter!)

My only question is the choice of which value should be for the pivot.
This seems to be what slows it down the most with your original data.

But the issue does not appear to be the pivot - its that native call is not made for some reason in ArrayList.Sort in .NET 2.0 (at least for strings): perhaps that secret native sorting method is also smarter at pivots, we don't really know (and I am not desperate enough to get into disassembly).

Its tempting for me to leave it as is :-/
