Thanks for testing that. It's good to see improvements in each of them.

Yeah, just a hack. My intention with it was just to prove we had a
problem because sometimes Sort -> Incremental Sort was faster than
Sort.  Ideally, with your change, we'd see that it's always faster to
do the full sort in one go. It would be good to see your patch with
and without the planner hack patch to ensure sort is now always faster
than sort -> incremental sort.
