No, it relies on the qsort() function of your C library. The program is called "quicksorter" merely because it intends to do the same job as signer/tools/sorter, only quicker.

Feel free to test with specific algorithms. I did a quick test run with a BSD heapsort[1] and it was four times slower than qsort() on my machine.
