makehistory performance

[George Lindholm]

'-l'?

A quick look at the source tells me that it controls how often
sort is called. I'm not sure whether a smaller value or a bigger one
would be better?

I did do a few random truss' on the makehistory process and I saw sort
being called a small percentage of the time so I don't think
it contributed much to the overall elapsed time.

Me thinks that the man pages are in need of some serious revisions.
