Ooh, I like it! ++ and then some!

I had to install Sort::Key to give it a whirl, and I can't manage to get the same 92% number, but I still like it just fine. Here's what I get, best of three, with ST and GRT thrown into the mix:

Still, even at 47% I'm suitably impressed and will be using keysort. It strikes me as odd that in your results keysort was bested by ukeysort... hardware differences, perhaps? (Mine's an AMD64 X2 4400+ w/2G DDR2 RAM.)

Thanks for pointing Sort::Key out to me!

Edit: Running on my original list of 11818 addresses, gloryhackish comes in 31% faster than ukeysort but 47% slower than keysort. Hmmmm.... curious, but still convincing.
