Here is a alternative to the current sortmirrrors script. It was designed to address this bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/2952. It does not touch your current mirror lists, it simply reads them and outputs timing information for each, and outputs a Server format that can be used in the mirrors list.
Great - I'm testing it out right now, and will most likely include it in pacman cvs. One note however: the usage doesn't mention the need for a pacman.d file. I'll let you fix that one however you like 8)

With my limited knowledge of python (about 2 hours now), I'll see what I can do. Let me know if you have any more suggestions for additions. By the way, I also asked the original for permission to include it and it is no problem, I put the copyright line as he requested at the top.
