This is because in the first example you are invoking two programs. The first one sort the content of the file, the second count how many lines are equal. While in the awk example it is creating a hash table with all words and incrementing

Thanks for this! Another nice thing about /usr/bin/time is the --verbose flag which gives: Command being timed: "ls" User time (seconds): 0.00 System time (seconds): 0.00 Percent of CPU this job got: 0%
