Default Re: Best Sorting Algorithm For Large Numbers

Fastest is a little vague, since you can consider worst case, avg case, etc (sometimes they are the same). Different sorting algorithms also have differing memory requirements, O(1), O(log n), etc. So that should also be taken into consideration if you have large data sets.

Quicksort is the brain dead choice of programmers.
