If you really need the speed you should learn assembler programming. It is not that hard (at least for small programs like this sort).

Assembler is not portable. So you need a different implementation for every plattform that fpc supports. If you just need x86 support then the sort programm should be part of your project and not of fpc in general. IMHO there is not much gain by including an assembly code sort in fpc.
