How can I improve my computer's performance and speed?

Are there baseline metrics like integer performance or comparison operator performance that can be used to compare the speed at which computers can sort data records over the last 5 decades?

  • I'd like to compare the speed at which computers can sort records over the last 5 decades. Ballpark figures are fine, and CPU performance would be good enough.

  • Answer:

    Sort performance is usually constrained by the memory hierarchy rather than the processor core.  So cache capacity, cache bandwidth, and memory bandwidth are usually good indicators.
