Sort large file

I was wondering how sort works. Does file size and time to sort increase geometrically? I have a 5.3 billion line file I'd like to use with sort -u I'm wondering if that'll take forever because of a geometric expansion? If it takes 100 hours that's fine but not 100 days. Thanks so much.

netris-sample-robot

netris-sample-robot(6)						Netris Sample Robot					    netris-sample-robot(6)

NAME

       netris-sample-robot - sample robot for netris

SYNOPSIS

       netris-sample-robot [-l]

DESCRIPTION

       The  netris-sample-robot is a sample implementation of the robot protocol. It plays quite well but isn't too hard to beat. The robot should
       be started from netris with the option -r to connect or wait for another player to join. You can also let  two  robots  play  against  each
       other in that way, if you like.

OPTIONS

       -l     Writes some log information into the file log in the current working directory. If it can't it bails out.

EXAMPLES

       To start the netris-sample-robot waiting for another connection with logfile use the following line:
	      netris -w -r 'netris-sample-robot -l'

       You then just have to start netris somewhere else which connects to that robot.

SEE ALSO

       netris(6)

BUGS

       One known bug of the netris-sample-robot is that it hangs quite often.  This was already filed as a bugreport against the package so please
       refrain from doing so again. If you have an idea why this happens or know a solution how to fix it feel free to mail us.

       Netris was written by Mark H. Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.
