the worst cases might be terrible.
Heaps are also very useful in big disk sorts. You most probably all know that a

big sort implies producing "runs" (which are pre-sorted sequences, whose size is
usually related to the amount of CPU memory), followed by a merging passes for
these runs, which merging is often very cleverly organised [#]_. It is very
important that the initial sort produces the longest runs possible. Tournaments
are a good way to that. If, using all the memory available to hold a

tournament, you replace and percolate items that happen to fit the current run,
you'll produce runs which are twice the size of the memory for random input, and
much better for input fuzzily ordered.
