>The results show that our approach yields an average 3.38x performance improvement over C++ STL sort, which is an optimized Quick- sort hybrid, 1.49x improvement over sequential Radix Sort, and 5.54x improvement over a C++ implementation of Tim- sort, which is the default sorting function for Java and Python.

This is a lot

Would be curious: this performance result includes training time? I guess I should read the paper...

The article says it does.
