I wrote a little test, and apparently std::sort *is* faster than qsort, at least at sorting an array of 4 million ints. My CPU is an AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 820.
In my opinion, templates are the best feature of C++. They're really the *only* feature I miss in C-land. You can use macros to accomplish the same thing in C. I vaguely remember that the BSD kernel has a header file implementing qsort-as-a-macro. However, it's less convenient.

The don't have to be all verbose and complicated, and if you collect the machinery they implement together in one spot and get the formatting right they can make things very much clearer.
