+List sort performance test.
+
+To install `pyperf` you would need to:
+
+    python3 -m pip install pyperf
+
+To run:
+
+    python3 Tools/scripts/sortperf
+
+Options:
+
+    * `benchmark` name to run
+    * `--rnd-seed` to set random seed
+    * `--size` to set the sorted list size
+
+Based on https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/963904335e579bfe39101adf3fd6a0cf705975ff/Lib/test/sortperf.py
