Review request for Dolphin and Frank Reininghaus.


Changes
-------

Use as many threads as possible.

Btw.: It is faster than the 2-thread implementation, about 600 ms with 500.000 files \
=> Never run a cpu expensive background process while benchmarking :(


Description
-------

Implemented multithreading in KFileItemModelSortAlgorithm.

If more than 100 items to sort and ideal thread count is greater than 1 -> sort them \
with parallelSort (2 Threads)

Use maximal 2 Threads, because more than 2 Threads are "slower" (more overhead than \
speed up). (I also have a patch which uses n Threads for sorting, if you want test it \
;)


Diffs (updated)
-----

  dolphin/src/kitemviews/private/kfileitemmodelsortalgorithm.h 3a596df 
  dolphin/src/kitemviews/private/kfileitemmodelsortalgorithm.cpp e0aac13 

Diff: http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/107025/diff/


Testing
-------

About 2 seconds faster with sorting 500.000 files.
About 5 seconds faster with sorting 1.000.000 files.


Thanks,

Emmanuel Pescosta
