As was suggested earlier, Gnus now creates composite sorting functions
based on the functions in `gnus-thread-sort-functions'. Gnus uses
this composite sort function, and does just a single `sort' call
instead of one `sort' per sorting function.
I wasn't really sure whether this would be faster or not, since the
composite sorting function isn't byte-compiled. And... the new
method seems to use 20% of the length of time the old method used.
Heh.
(I've only tested with sorting over article number and subject;
sorting over date is still just as slow as always, I would think...)

Given this result, are you going to look at creating composite
group sorting functions? And does this still leave the bug with
gathering orphaned articles, or has that sorting been moved to a
different function now?
