Ooh, this is a hasty exchange of views, isn't it? :-)

Even if sorted output required sorting the hash before every traversal (which
it doesn't - only necessary on those traversals whose order affects the
output), that wouldn't result in quadratic or worse behaviour unless the sort
is very naive. The sort is probably something like O(N log N), and that would
be added to (not multiplied by) the time currently taken by each affected
traversal.
