yes, it is. sorting ~3000 pkgs on my machine now takes ~45sec while
before it "never ended" (probably it would after a few hours)

if you want to add a test, then just add all the packages in the sync
repo to a transaction using the noconfilcts option then you'll see how
much time will the sort take with numtargs/2
