The important point is to make any presorted test case only ~99%
presorted, so as to not give too much credit to the "high risk"
presort check optimization.
The switch to insertion sort that we left in (not the bad one removed
by a3f0b3d -- the insertion sort that actually comes from the B&M
paper) does "legitimately" make sorting faster with presorted cases.
