I can't duplicate slowness. It finishes fairly quickly here. Maybe you
could try posting specific code? It might be something else that is
making your program take forever.

>>> x = [(datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(random.getrandbits(10)), random.getrandbits(32)) for _ in xrange(1172026)]
>>> random.shuffle(x)
>>> x.sort()
>>>
