I need to sort some very large files (30G for each) and want to estimate the
size of the temperary file created during the sorting. Is 3 or 4 times the
sorted file size large enough for the temperary file?
Since I want to know I could run how many sortings simultaneously if CPUs are
available. Thanks a lot.

It depends on the algorithm and the file structure.
