What exactly should be cited? I had a quick look and djbsort seems to be a constant-time algorithm, presumably a sorting network. They report about 2 GB/s for 768 int32 on 3 GHz Skylake; IIRC our sorting network reaches 3-4 GB/s, but for a smaller input size (256 int32 or int64). Hard to compare directly, but djbsort is likely slower, and the sorting network is anyway a small fraction of the total time in a Quicksort.
