It does help abit
-S did seem to help in my test
scenario.
I had a file that took a little over a minute, and I added
-S 1024
And it took about 50 seconds. That is certainly not a scientific
test or anything, nor Earth shattering improvement, but it at least
seems worth exploring.
Another possibility might be using awk, but it's questionable
whether or not that could help speed things up.
