[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] sorting times in Hypercard

I realize that this has been discussed before in this newsgroup but, at the
time, I wasn't interested so I didn't pay any attention.  Does anybody have
rough estimates as to how Hypercard sorting times degrade as more cards are
added to a stack?  I'm really only looking for fairly rough figures, e.g.
how long does it take to sort 100 cards?, 1000 cards?, 10000 cards? on, say,
a Mac SE or + with 1 MB of RAM and a hard disk.

Thanks in advance,
