I do not understand how one would jump from the readme's "As of 2022-06-07 this sorts large arrays of built-in types about ten times as fast as `std::sort`" (and this is now being clarified to add LLVM's std::sort) to 'any scalar sort is 10x slower'.

That's about the number in the post here. The readme is better at this, as it does actually mention std::sort, whereas here it's just "Intel's sort and ours can be about 10x as fast as scalar.". (not that I expect everyone to provide 100% of the necessary details on everything on every post anywhere on the internet, but here it's been explicitly pointed out to you that it's quite misleading)
