Testimonial
Thank you for allowing me to evaluate your excellent product. In terms of performance it was clearly the best product available on the market. I bench-tested it against a number of other sort utilities and it performed at a minimum of 2.5x the speed of the other programs.

I am therefore in a position to recognise high quality, and your software is amazing.
XSM is with no doubt the fastest sort utility you can find!
Rather than a long marketing speech, just read clients feedback then download and evaluate freely XSM by yourself!Evolution XSM 6.91 vs 6.90 vs 6.71

XSM 6.58 vs challenger softwares 5GB, 10GB, 20GB, WinNT
- Machine with normal, stable system load.
- Files generated by SortGen before each run.
- Ground rules : http://sortbenchmark.org
- Average elapse on 5 runs. Each run executes all sort programs.
- 1 hard disk IDE 7200 rpm for input + output
- 1 hard disk IDE 7200 rpm for temporary sortworks
- Benchmark is reproductible.

XSM from 1 to 30 Gigabyte, Linux x86_64 vs Solaris 10 Sparcv9
Time in minutes to sort from 1 to 30 Gigabytes files
- Machine with normal, stable system load.
- Files generated by Sortgen before each run.
- 1 disk for input + output
- 1 disk for temporary sortworks (4 SORTWORKS)
- Multi-threading
- Benchmark is reproductible.
This benchmark shows linear performances on files from 1 to 30 Gigabytes on different platforms:
whatever the volume processed, elapse times is foreseeable and constant.
In above example, SUN Sparc has SCSI disks faster than PC's IDE but slower CPUs. This explains difference in performances.

XSM vs standard sort, in the Old times
Ancient benchmarks from begining of XXIth century when it took 1 minute to sort 100 Megabytes...
Today, it takes 40 secs to sort 1 Gigabyte!
The point is to show that XSM, since its creation, has always been way faster that standard sort
(as well as its challengers).
