I think you can give OA all the credit for this.  Dolphin 5 was a bit
slow in sorting collections that were already in order, especially
reverse order.  Dolphin 6 has increased sorting speed, most noticeably
where the collection is already sorted.

If you load DSDN 5 into Dolphin 6 then you will see that it still shows
the speed improvement.  FWIW, you could also see this using DSDN on D5,
if you sorted on the Author field (to randomise the TimeStamps) and then
sorted on the TimeStamp field it was much faster.

I don't know if the change in sorting is the whole story though, the
improvement in DSDN seems a bit _too_ much for that.

So, three cheers for OA <fx: ra ra ra>
