32 meg per sort can be a lot in total if you have many clients sorting
things. I assume you have checked so that the computer is not pushed into
swapping when you have the peak with lots of users. A swapping computer is
never fast.
Using some swap space is not bad, but a lot of page in and page out to the
swap is not good.
