Hmm, nlogn(60,000,000) ~= 1,560,000,000 ops per sort, before your coefficient. If you want that done at 16.67 KHz (1 million times/min), you'll need some work.

You can do it, in certain cases, with certain hardware & good skills, but it's tricky. I'm still not buying that the requirements are really that high.
