I'm a little bit confused on the "sorting perf improvements" bit. Does that mean that if I have a query with a `SORT BY`, it will literally "just be faster"? Surely that sounds too good to be true...?

Basically, yes, it will literally just be faster.

On a sidenote it's amazing to see how much MS is contributing to open source.
To give credit where credit is due this was not just a Microsoft contribution. The four mentioned contributors were all from different companies: Microsoft, Dalibo, Greenplum and EnterpriseDB. Microsoft employs some of the core contributors of PostgreSQL, but many patches come out of cross company collaboration.
Their military contributions are also awe inducing
:O

Thanks for the link!
