This implementation claims to take SUM(argv) ticks, whereas the original sleepsort took MAX(argv) seconds.

Is this an error, or is something done fundamentally different?

It takes SUM(argv) as opposed to MAX(argv) as originally stated, which was wrong.

Every argument will put itself back into the event loop (tick) N times until it actually prints the value so we need to SUM the values and not just take the MAX.
