Revise the threaded sort application to improve the performance by applying one or more of the principles to improve the efficiency of I/O.

Provide a 1-2 page summary of the strategy to improve I/O, an explanation of how you expect the strategy to improve the performance, and a summary of the actual change in performance oberved. Provide what changes were made to the code. 

Here is the code:
